What does ‘STEAM’ mean?
The acronym “STEAM” refers to “science, technology, engineering, art, and math.” By bringing the arts into traditional STEM fields, educators encourage learners to think outside the box and become innovators.
About NC Science Festival
Founded in 2010, the North Carolina Science Festival is the first statewide science festival in the United States. Through a series of community-based events each April (hosted by schools, colleges, libraries, museums, parks, businesses, and other local organizations), the Festival celebrates the economic, educational, and cultural impacts of science in North Carolina. It is an initiative of Morehead Planetarium & Science Center at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. For more information, please visit ncscifest.org.
