Organization profile

The Driven to Discover Research Facility was launched in 2014 to bring University research and researchers into closer contact with the Minnesota community. Over two million people visit the fair each year from across the state making it a great place to connect with people and engage them in exciting, innovative projects from a wide variety of disciplines.

 

Starting in 2022, the D2D team has been visiting some county fairs throughout MN.This provides an opportunity for more people to participate in the research projects that are hosted by the D2D team, and it provides an opportunity for  D2D researchers to expand outside the Twin Cities metro area.
