STEAM up Your Engines and Get Your Creative Juices Going!

July 27, 2015

The Rocky Mountain STEAM Fest is a two-day, jam-packed celebration of all things STEAM! This year’s STEAM Fest also features three exciting learning spaces at STEAM UNIVERSITY.

 

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Arts and Making (among other things), and the Rocky Mountain STEAM Fest will feature over 100 exhibitors – everything from music to robots, drones to knitting – and lots in between.

 

Bring the WHOLE family to enjoy hands-on activities and opportunities for adults and children alike to learn by doing.  They'll be hacking, fiddling, experimenting, building, making and tinkering.

 

You’ll also find great food, live music (and our famous Family Dance Party to close out Sunday night!)

 

STEAM University includes over 50 hours of hands-on learning in three exciting and collaborative spaces. Teachers can earn continuing education credit for attending sessions that include hands-on learning about everything STEAM.  The courses aren’t just for teachers – if you’re a parent, an educator of any kind – you’ll love learning more about how STEM/STEAM education is changing.

 

Our amazing learning STEAM University spaces include:

·         Tab Lab - sponsored by the World Leadership School and featuring their incredible electronic learning lab

·         STEAM Workshop -- round tables and collaboration classroom for workshop-style, hands-on learning

·         STEAM Speaks! - classroom style experiential learning from thought-leading STEAM presenters

It will be fantastical!

 

Your STEAM Fest ticket includes free access to all STEAM University courses!  Early Bird ticket prices are available through July – hurry, they’re going fast!  www.GoSTEAMFest.com
