What is the STEM Expo?  

STEM EXPO 2020 will showcase the talents of K - 6 students in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and creative Making. This event is designed to show off those talents in the scientific areas. We look forward to many different kinds of projects and students to share what they have learned. STEM EXPO is an event, like an old-fashioned science fair, but non-competitive, you are all winners!

Do you need some help? Contact the Science Center 708-215-6405 or
