"As a parent, seeing my child's excitement as she explores and engages in hands-on STEM activities is truly inspiring."
"We decided to visit last year's festival to kill some time in the morning. We ended up staying for hours as my daughter and her friend roamed the exhibits, took in some live music, and visited the food trucks. Turned into a great day!"
"I always have such a fantastic time at our Community STEM Day event, feeling inspired and energized by all the engaging activities and innovative projects. It is wonderful to connect with fellow enthusiasts and see the passion for STEM shine through in everyone's efforts. It is truly a memorable experience that my own children love and reaffirms my love for learning and collaboration."
