The Northeast Iowa Family STEM Festival was on Thursday, April 13 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Center for the Arts, Luther College in Decorah.
The festival was free and open to the public. Over 25 exhibits from the area presented hands-on STEM activities for kids and their families. Attendees could drive robots, conduct amazing science experiments, and much more!
