St. Clair County Community College will be celebrating science, technology, engineering and mathematics on Saturday, March 15 with STEM Fest.
STEM Fest provides a day of hands-on exhibits focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Encouraging young innovators to explore STEM and opportunities in STEM available at SC4. The free event features 100 unique experiences, taking place across multiple buildings, presented by SC4, Michigan Technological University’s Mind Trekkers, Cranbrook Institute of Science and the Reptarium of Utica.
