LISA Academy host 11th Annual Arkansas STEM Festival to celebrate science, technology, engineering and math in Fayetteville. Tens of exploration stations will provide hands-on activities that bring opportunity for engagement and exchange between children, teens, families, and local STEM professionals.

The Annual Arkansas STEM Festival is the premier free admission STEM showcase in the state of Arkansas and certainly has much to offer for students and adults alike. Schools from across the state bring their students to present and view the 100+ demonstrations on display, and with the countless benefits for the students it’s no wonder why. Students have the extremely valuable opportunity to get up on stage and present their demonstration to a large audience of their peers. This “share and shine” experience allows students to improve their communication and presenting skills in a formal scientific environment at a young age.

STEM, Science Technology Engineering and Math, is rapidly becoming one of the most important set of skills in the workforce and education alike. Through the STEM Festival, students have, among other things, used science to perform mind blowing tricks, technology and engineering to automate everyday tasks, and have found ways to make math a more exciting experience than ever before. While numerous students come to show off their computer science and programming demonstrations, there is a place for everyone at the Arkansas STEM Festival.

Event Location: Arkansas Union -- 435 Garland Ave, Fayetteville, AR
