The mission of the Festival is to encourage all students regardless of age, back ground and experience to take a greater interest in STEM with the hope they will pursue a STEM related/focused career. Most of the events are free, open to the public, family oriented and fun. The 2020 Festival runs virtually from October 2nd through November 1st. This will be the sixth year of our highly successful event that is open to everyone. Our theme is manufacturing and design. We will have a wide range of programs including STEM focused Comedy Shows, Musical Performances, Career Panel Discussions, Robotic Demonstrations and a Virtual Parade. Families can participate by sending us a 5-10 second video showing their love for STEM. All the events are listed on our website and are free.
