"More than 1,500 free, interactive exhibits drew about 500,000 people to downtown Washington this weekend to learn about science, technology, engineering and math.
"Inspired by a science festival organized by the University of Cambridge in England, Bock, an entrepreneur interested in science education, decided to organize a regional event in San Diego in April 2009.
"After the San Diego festival, Bock partnered with Lockheed Martin to develop this first national science festival. Beginning Oct. 10, the expo launched 75 satellite events, contests and exhibits across the country, culminating in the two-day grand finale expo in Washington."
