STEM Day at the State Fair
The third annual STEM Day (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) at the State Fair returns for the opening Day of the Minnesota State Fair with 30 participating organizations.
Hosted by the Minnesota STEM Network, STEM Day at the State Fair will be located in Carousel Park, just outside the grandstand, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday August 23.
Visitors will be able to engage in hands-on activities and interactive demonstrations from a diverse array of exhibitors and organizations. A performance stage will feature engaging experiments and demonstrations.
Each organization will showcase their unique STEM demonstrations and activities to show children and parents how to engage in STEM after school and illustrate how science, technology, engineer and mathematics permeate every day life.
