Celebrate STEM at the USA Science and Engineering Festival, April 16-17

The USA Science and Engineering Festival is coming up!

What does STEM stand for?

  • Science
  • Technology
  • Engineering
  • Mathematics

The event kicks off with the X-STEM Extreme STEM symposium presented by MedImmune on Thursday, April 14. This conference-style "TED Talk"-like day is geared to engage middle and high school students with STEM professionals. Various presentations, live demonstrations, and hands-on experiences will include topics such as space exploration, paleontology, alternative biofuels, and many more. At the end of the day, the participating STEM professionals hope that the students’ interests are piqued in any of the many STEM career paths. This is a ticketed event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

A sneak peek to the festival will occur Friday, April 15, when press, students, and military families can be the first to see the expo floor before it opens to the general public. Pre-registration is required and the hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Free to the public, the USA Science & Engineering Festival, presented by Lockheed Martin, will run Saturday, April 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Sunday, April 17 the expo opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 4 p.m. Both days will include appearances by special guests, stage shows, and more than 3,000 hands-on activities for all ages. The Einstein Main Stage will be a primary attraction. Engage your mind, be inspired, fuel your curiosity, and dive in to the all that the STEM world has to offer.
