Rochester Regional STEM Fair: March 1, 2024

The STEM Fair is an event where students can showcase science and engineering projects. Prior to the event, students find a question or problem that interests them. They build prototypes or conduct experiments, sharing what they learned with their peers. Students may win awards based on the quality of their projects and presentations.

The STEM Fair will be held at the Rochester Regional Sports Complex at RCTC on Friday, March 1st, 2024. This will be a non-school day for Rochester Public Schools.
