Rochester Regional STEM Fair: February 28, 2025

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, February 28, 2025.
