In addition to running several long-term programs year–round, our office also coordinates, hosts, and sponsors a variety of one-day or short-term events to promote STEM. These programs run anywhere from 2-12 hours in length and provide more pathways for us to engage the community in STEM enrichment. Check out a selection of this year’s one day events below:
