Celebrate Engineering at Maryland Day

Maryland Day, the University of Maryland’s annual celebration, returns this Saturday, April 29, 2023. You are invited to enjoy a day of learning, fun, and discovery all in person!

Established in 1999, Maryland Day is the University of Maryland's largest community outreach event. Join us for more than 60 Clark School events, family-friendly demonstrations, and engineering activities! You can find us in the Science & Tech Way learning neighborhood.
