Darwin Day
Whether you’re a seasoned scientist who doesn’t mind getting your hands dirty or the thought of math and dissection makes you blanch, on Darwin Day on February 12 we celebrate Charles Darwin’s work and science in general. Take the extra time to learn about his experiments, findings, and accomplishments, and reflect on how they still affect us today. The discovery of evolutionary creation has led scientists across multiple fields to make life-altering and life-saving discoveries about our species and how we originated. There’s a lot to be grateful about for Darwin and his research!
On this day let us tell you about contests and challenges multinational corporations do around the year to support students with funds they need towards tuitions, find your resources for scholarships on Scholaroo.

And led to countless Halloweens of young children covered in green paint with box-shaped foreheads. Let’s dive into this fun holiday!
