About the event
Ki’ ta bo STEM? is our annual event for participants from 12-21 years old. The event aims to introduce each of the STEM fields through interactive workshops, and spark curiosity as to what a future in STEM could hold for their own career paths, as well as the further development of the islands.
We’ll close the event off with a fair called the STEM Festival scheduled for the 29th of July. This festival will be a perfect opportunity for participants to gather with their families and proudly display the creations they have made during the workshops. Moreover, esteemed STEM companies and organizations will join us, adding to the vibrant atmosphere by showcasing their local STEM activities.
The STEM Festival will feature an engaging stage program that includes panel speakers sharing their expertise and insights. Additionally, we will have award presentations honoring the creations of the participants, adding an element of recognition and celebration to the event.
