The festival was FREE and open to the public. The goals of the STEM Festival were to promote, inspire, and engage youth in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic activities and to introduce students and parents to STEM careers in the community.
Organized like a street festival or county fair, visitors strolled from activity to activity at their leisure. All ages were welcome to attend. Exhibits featured interactive STEM activities for students and their families. Attendees were able to conduct amazing science experiments, perform surgery with a Laparoscopic Surgical Trainer, and much more!
