Chandler Innovation Fair
Dr. A.J. Chandler Park: Stage Plaza
Every February, Chandler celebrates the exploration of invention. The Chandler Innovation Fair (CIF) showcases the businesses, artists, students and innovators in the community as Chandler participates in the statewide Arizona SciTech Festival.
Entering it's 15th year, we are continuing to partner with the Chandler Unified School District's Innovation Fair, which brings about greater district participation.
This free event offers unique opportunities for attendees to explore the discoveries of science engineered in their own backyard and taught in Chandler Unified schools. Chandler uses 'sneaky science' by entertaining the whole family while explaining how science is important to daily life.
