The Dinner With a Scientist is a unique opportunity for students in grades 6-12 to interact with scientists from a variety of fields of study over dinner in a professional environment. In addition to a keynote speaker, each table is assigned at least one scientist. Originated by the San Joaquin County Office of Education, Dinner With a Scientist events have now spread to Merced, Stanislaus, and Tuolumne counties.
