Lots of free events at 2014 Arizona SciTech Festival in February/March

Now in its 3rd year the Arizona SciTech Festival has been organizing hundreds of free activities for children and adults all over the state. I’ve attended a few events down here in Southern Arizona, focusing on science experiments, outer space, creative innovations in science technology engineering and math (STEM).

The Arizona SciTech Festival is a state-wide celebration of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM or STEAM when you include the arts) held annually in February and March. Through a series of over 200 expos, workshops, conversations, exhibitions and tours held in diverse neighborhoods throughout the state, the Arizona SciTech Festival excites and informs Arizonans from ages 3 to 103 about how STEM will drive our state for next 100 years. Spearheaded by Arizona Science Center, the Arizona Technology Council Foundation, Arizona Commerce Authority, the University of Arizona and Arizona State University, the Arizona SciTech Festival is a grass roots collaboration of over 350 organizations in industry, academia, arts, civic, community and K-12.

For a list of ongoing and future activities in Pima County, go to their website, www.azscitechfest.org or click here.

You can also download the full event schedule or locate a colorful guide (with gecko design) at the Pima County public libraries or Bookman’s stores. Pima County activities are highlighted in blue. And here’s the list of science activities at the Pima County libraries (click here), including Science Saturdays and Hands on Science activities.

Enjoy this Sci-Tech Festival.
