We are currently seeking #SciFest stories to share on social media to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! We want to hear how the USA Science & Engineering Festival events and programs have had long-lasting and positive effects on you, your students, or your children. Do you know someone who has pursued a career in STEM after attending #SciFest, #XSTEM or #NiftyFifty? Did one of our speakers or performers change your life? Are you a sponsor or exhibitor willing to share a memorable moment from #SciFest?  Let us know! Contact us here for more information. 

Reminder, this month is the last call for the Exhibitor Early Bird Special! The exhibitor early bird special discount ends on September 1. Sign up today to reserve your space on the Expo floor!  We are currently seeking sponsors and exhibitors to inspire the next generation with STEM!

One of the nation’s most knowledgeable entomologists (experts in the branch of zoology dealing with insects), Zack Lemann has shared his passion for insects with the public since 1992 at the Audubon Zoo. Over the years as an entomologist, he has come to learn the nutritional value of insects – ranging from crickets and dragonflies to honey pot ants, beetles and waxworms. The Audubon Insectarium where he works has even opened a café called “Bug Appétit” which cooks and serves such favorite dishes as Chocolate Chirp Cookies and Cricket King Cake for visitors.

This school year, keep kids engaged with our FREE X-STEM video library! Our X-STEM videos are a terrific educational resource for teachers and parents. Students can search our STEM topics and hear from a variety of visionaries exploring conservation, medical research, space travel, math, weather patterns, and much more! 

We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our very special Sponsors who have signed up to support events for the USA Science & Engineering Festival. 

By participating as a sponsor for the USA Science & Engineering Festival and our events, your organization will be aligned with the nation's leading science and engineering institutions that recognize the importance of STEM education and its impact on our country.
