USA Science and Engineering Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USA Science & Engineering Festival is a science & engineering festival in Washington, D.C. that founder Larry Bock deemed the country’s first national science festival.[1] The inaugural event was held from October 10, 2010 through October 24, 2010, the second Festival was April 27–29, 2012 (attended by a quarter million visitors). The upcoming third Festival is set for April 23–27, 2014, and will launch with the Extreme STEM (X-STEM) Symposium on April 24, 2014. The USA Science & Engineering Festival will partner with the U.S. News STEM Solutions National Conference and host the conference on April 23–25, 2014. The 3rd USA Science & Engineering Festival has featured a year of school programs, affiliate events and sponsored several video & other project contests during the entire year leading up to the Finale Expo in April 2014. The Nifty Fifty Program has returned and tripled in size featuring a group of 150 noted science and engineering professionals who will fan out across the Washington, D.C. area in the 2013–2014 school year to speak about their work and careers at various middle and high schools.
There has been a growing nation-wide network of X-STEM school groups formed in interested schools & community organizations and senior/retired speakers in STEM fields & careers. There is also a network of Satellite events/festivals. It is supported by Mr. Bock, thousands of presenters, sponsoring businesses, many other organizations, and many hundreds of volunteers (more needed!).
