Volunteer Opportunity: State Science + Technology Fair of Iowa |

The Iowa 4-H Program’s State Science + Technology Fair of Iowa (SSTFI) serves as a platform for student researchers (grades 6 – 12) to meet with professional researchers and communicate their findings and understanding of the research process. The SSTFI is an affiliate of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. |

It takes many volunteers to make the SSTFI a successful event for around 700 young researchers from across the state of Iowa! This two-day event hosted at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa has opportunities for those with a background in science, engineering, and technology and for those that want to support STEM exploration in Iowa’s youth.
