Minnesota State Fair STEMday 2023

Summer 2023 has gone fast and with classes starting at Concordia, we have just enough time for a quick trip to Minneapolis-St Paul and the annual STEMday which is part of the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair. Organized by SciMathMN, this year sees the largest number of participating organizations and we are happy to have not only a booth from 8 to 5 but be on the Dan Patch Stage at 3:15 pm

STEM day this year is based around ‘You Belong in STEM’ and this is something we have always believed in and ties in well with the science academy mission of ‘Science for Everyone’ Being part of STEMday lets us interact with awesome STEM providers from across Minnesota and get new ideas and inspiration as well as building contacts.

Everything is packed and Dr. Graeme and the team (this year made up of 5 students and maybe an alumni or two) are heading down Wednesday to get ready.

Our booth activity this year will be focused on density and our stage show which will have ASL interpretation is all about science words which will be showcased by a range of exciting experiments.
