Science on Saturday

Science on Saturday is a series of science lectures for middle and high school students. Each topic highlights cutting-edge research at LLNL. Join us for the 2026 Science on Saturday series, "Computing the Future!” where we explore cutting-edge research conducted at the Laboratory, showcasing our innovative work using the power of computing from molecular biology to space exploration. 

The one-hour presentation will begin at 10 a.m. each Saturday morning in the month of February at Las Positas College. Worksheets will be made available at the presentation for extra credit opportunities which should be addressed with the student's teacher directly. Presentation and parking are free. A tour of the Las Positas Campus is available after the presentation. Registration is required.
