Bring the whole family for hands on exploration of everything from neuroscience, marine mammals and wetlands ecology to bridge building, solar science and biotechnology.

The arts are represented as well, with exhibits on the science of colors and a chance to draw alongside scientific illustrators.

A wide variety of professional STEM organizations will be there, giving the community a chance to meet them and ask about their work and careers.

Try your hand at science trivia with the Shorewood High School Science Club and investigate the Makerspace phenomenon with MakerLab NW and SoundBio Lab.

Of course there will be robot battles

Chat with K-12 students about their science fair projects and grab a slice of pizza to support transportations costs to nationals for the Shorecrest Technology Student Association team. The newly formed Shoreline Robotics Society and Team Pronto will again host a robotics extravaganza that you won’t want to miss.

Thanks to the support of generous sponsors and Shoreline Community College, admission and parking are absolutely free. People of all ages will find something to enjoy, and kids and teens can visualize a potential future in STEM.
