In Washington, DC and around the world on Saturday, scientists — and many young science fans — came together for the March for Science.
1. Will, a 10-year-old from Connecticut, told BuzzFeed News he thought Trump's environmental laws are "foul" and "completely awful and totally unfair."

5. In Washington, DC,11-year-old Luis Fabish told BuzzFeed News he wants to be a mechanical engineer when he grows up, and that he and his dad are building a car from scavenged parts.
I want to let people know that all these facts are real not fake. -Luis Fabish, 11, from Chicago. #sciencemarchdc
They traveled from Chicago to the march in DC and wore brain hats made by Luis's mom.
6. And they weren't the only kids speaking out. Tons of children protested, many bearing signs with hopes for the future: to end climate change, save animals, and even to become scientists themselves.
11. A number of future scientists came out to march.
