Some grown-ups will have a chance for science fair nostalgia Thursday evening in St. Paul. Dual Citizen Brewing Company is hosting an adult science fair.

The event is also a fundraiser for Starbase Minnesota, a program that educates 5th graders in the Twin Cities and Duluth about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

It’s the brainchild of Dual Citizen events manager Caitlin Searls, who spoke with MPR News host Nina Moini about why she wanted to organize it along with Melanie Peters, executive director of Starbase Minnesota.
