STEAM Day 2026

Wednesday, June 24 • 2:30-6pm

Our National STEAM/STEM Day Festival is a chance to celebrate science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. We get to engage, excite, and inspire the imagination of what STEAM-related careers are, and what they offer. Activities will include local manufacturers, healthcare entities, businesses, and organizations providing hands-on STEAM demonstrations and projects.
