In observance of African American History Month in February, the Festival recognizes the accomplishments of African American pioneers and the important role they have played in paving the way for modern-day African American STEM leaders and innovators including Festival X-STEM and Nifty Fifty Speakers. 
The 2014 USA Science & Engineering Festival attracted over 325,000 visitors all excited to learn about the physics of music, how to design their own toy sail boats to withstand wind resistance, drone robots playing musical instruments, how to spot ray and shark fossils and much more! Join us in 2016 as we look for more exciting exhibitors to create another amazing celebration of STEM! 
Many schools have submitted their interest in becoming a CERTIFIED X-STEM School but have not taken the next step in the certification process. In order for your school to be the first to hear about new school programs, events like the X-STEM Symposium and gain priority during the Nifty Fifty selection process, the school must be certified! If your school has submitted its application but has not taken the steps to CERTIFY, read more to find out about the requirements. 
Access our free, new online Festival Expo Stage Show video library collection today to bring motivating, interactive stage presentations by leading innovators from Expo 2014 into your living rooms, classrooms or break room!

In early January the Volunteer Outreach team held its first meeting of the year. This meeting was a little bit different because first and foremost it was our opportunity to say thank you to the volunteers who made the 3rd USA Science & Engineering Festival so successful! Thank you to our amazing volunteers!
