Information and FAQs all about STEMFest
STEMFest is coming soon!
On Saturday, May 4th, Aldine ISD STEM will take over the Aldine ISD Staff Development & Resource Center for the first-ever STEM Festival. Elementary and Middle school STEM and/or computer science students, as well as coding/STEM club members from around the district, will convene under one roof to showcase their web, app, or computing device successes they have created during the school year.
Students, Teachers, District Leaders, influencers, and the tech community will have the opportunity to learn from and alongside students, as they explore a myriad of coding projects showcasing apps, the web, and computing devices. They will have an opportunity to investigate the real-world applications of computer science and how Computer Science bridges the gap between classroom and careers.
