Every fall, 2,000 4th through 8th grade students from across Arizona adventure through one-day glimpse into the world of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). STEM professionals from throughout the community share their world to motivate students to complete a science or engineering project of their own. AZ STEM Adventure is offered at no cost. Schools must only provide transportation if attending in-person (some transportation scholarships are available).
