Science and Art Night Celebrates Community, Curiosity and Creativity

December 04, 2025

Anoka-Ramsey's Cambridge Campus hosted more than 100 students, faculty, staff and supporters Tuesday, Dec. 2. They gathered to celebrate our community’s scholarly and creative work at Science and Art Night.  

The 2025 event marked a return to form for Science Night, which moved online during the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was first held in 1983. It serves as both a showcase for the research of students and faculty and an opportunity for our community to connect, including local K-12 educators who shared a meal and professional development discussion.  

The evening included a poster session where students presented their research findings, along with live art demonstrations, interactive learning activities, and mini masterclasses led by faculty and students. The night was capped off with a chemistry-themed magic show.
