Join us at the Connecticut Science Center Gala: Close Encounters of the STEM Kind for out-of-this-world cocktails, a seated dinner, music, live and silent auctions, and more in support of inspiring programs to meet the current and future STEM workforce needs in our region, world, and universe. See the Connecticut Convention Center transformed into a celebration of science fiction through the ages.
