Plant Science Family Night 2025
Following the great success of hosting the event in the last 2 years, the Center of Excellence for Sustainable Food Security and the KAUST School held the third Plant Science Family Night on February 19, 2025. This eagerly anticipated event welcomed over 1,000 attendees from the KAUST community, bringing families together for an evening filled with discovery, education, and entertainment.
With more than 25 interactive stations, the event offered a variety of hands-on experiences designed to ignite curiosity and deepen understanding of plant science, food security, and sustainability. Topics ranged from composting and genetics to recycling, irrigation, food safety, and sustainable living.
Children and their families had the chance to engage directly with KAUST scientists and educators, take part in experiments and demonstrations, and learn how cutting-edge research is addressing major global challenges such as food security and environmental conservation. Participants included representatives from the Center of Excellence for Sustainable Food Security, the KAUST School (TKS), Terraxy, GrowBioM, Students for Sustainability – KAUST Beacon Development, the Office of Sustainability, and Al Garra School from the Madinah Region.
