The Curiosity Fair at UK is an annual, community event that highlights the role of curiosity in education. Faculty, staff and students create “Curiosity Stations” or short demos that represent ideas from their classes, fields or research. There is always a wide variety of disciplines, and the event is an informal and fun way for participants to engage with new people and ideas. Dr. Greg talks with co-organizer Dr. Hannah Ruehl and past presenter Dr. Lou Hirsch about what to expect this year.

The University of Kentucky will host it’s 4th annual Curiosity Fair 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, in the Gatton Student Ballroom.

Many faculty, staff and students have found the event helpful in getting out the word about the value of their research, majors and minors. This event is open to the public and generally has a large attendance from the university's undergraduate population and Lexington community.
