Carlisle Area Science Advisory Committee
- Carlisle Area Science Advisory Committee
The Carlisle Area Science Advisory Committee (CASAC) was established to promote interest in science among young people in the Carlisle, Pennsylvania area. Since 1957, events have been held every year on the last weekend of January in the Swartz building.
History
CASAC was founded by Carlisle Area School District, Dickinson College, Carlisle Area Chamber of Commerce and several Carlisle industries in September 1957—a month before Sputnik 1 was launched by Russia. The event led to a tremendous increase in interest towards science, mathematics and education throughout the country.
Purposes
* To foster interest in science in the Carlisle area, particularly in high schools and colleges
