Program Overview

Geek Picnic is a large open-air popular science and tech festival with talks, exhibits, and hands-on activities for all ages.

Geek Picnic is a large open-air popular science and technology festival that originated in Russia and has also run editions in Israel. The event combines popular science talks, engineering and robotics demos, art-technology installations, VR/AR zones, maker projects, and interactive exhibits from universities, tech companies, and labs. It is aimed at a broad audience—from teenagers to adults—who are curious about science, engineering, and future technologies. While Geek Picnic often includes interactive zones, workshops, and occasional contests or challenges, it is **not structured as a formal academic competition** for high school students (e.g., no standardized contest format, scoring system, or clear winner structure comparable to Olympiads or science fairs). High school students can attend as visitors and sometimes as participants in workshops or project showcases, gaining exposure to cutting‑edge science, networking with researchers and technologists, and exploring career paths in STEM. Specific activities, age recommendations, and any contest-style elements vary by year and city and are typically announced on the official website prior to each event.
