Our theme for the 2025 event is Make Waves with Science. This year marks the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science’s centennial, so there is even more to celebrate.

“Science drives innovation, creates knowledge, generates solutions, and inspires us to think about our world in new ways,” said Horn Point Lab Director Mike Sieracki.  “And sometimes science makes waves--in all the best ways! Horn Point Lab chose the theme Make Waves with Science for this year's Open House to celebrate the impact of groundbreaking research. We're looking forward to celebrating that impact with our Open House guests!”

Explore the world of marine science! This event is fun for all ages. Experience interactive exhibits and visit local food vendors!
