Phoenix Students Go ‘SciTech’

Science fairs aren’t what they used to be.

Take it from Phoenix mom, Maiko Parker.

“It’s not just a volcano erupting anymore. It is electronics, 3-D movies, 3-D printing and so exciting our kids are learning this technology.”

And on March 13, students at Heard Elementary got to show off what they’ve being learning at the STEaM Club and Science Expo.

Funded by United Way‘s Destination Graduation program, the festival was part of Arizona SciTech Festival’s statewide celebration of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and helps students spark interest in industries that are essential to today’s workforce.

See how these students are creating a brighter future for us all through STEaM.

Foundational partners include the Arizona Board of Regents, Arizona Commerce Authority, Arizona Science Center, Arizona State University, Arizona Technology Council Foundation, and The University of Arizona. The Arizona SciTech Festival is a grassroots collaboration of more than 500 organizations in industry, academia, arts, civic, community and K-12 education. Visit azscitech.com for more information.
