The 2019 WMS STEAM Fair was fun for all ages. More than 140 families attended the event on April 17, 2019 and visited stations hosted by students, teachers, UCM employees, and community members. Some of the fifty-six stations featured at the STEAM air included: green-screen newscasts, exploration rover, Makey-Makey music, robotics, flight simulator, virtual reality expeditions, neon art, t-shirt printing, augmented reality games, and automotive technology.
Approximately 100 middle school students participated in the fair, demonstrating their projects and teaching fair attendees about concepts in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. Parents and community members were very complimentary of WMS students and their projects. It was a time for students to shine, as they communicated with individuals of all ages about their work.
The STEAM Fair is an annual event. We are already making plans for next year with new stations created by students, university faculty, and community members. Anyone interested in participating in next year’s STEAM Fair should contact Cyndi Allen or Kelly Pryde for more information.
