Celebrate Science, Technology, Engineering and Math at our annual
STEM Day! Explore the STEM expo with tons of hands-on booths and
discover the Chemeketa Community College campus as you participate in
unique hands-on workshops hosted by various departments! Begin working
on a car in the auto shop, code a robot in the robotics lab, or
discover the technology of farming at the greenhouse! The expo-style
booths this year include exciting topics like understanding the brain
with OHSU, bird banding & research with ODFW, digital creativity
& graphic design with Adobe, engineering with OSU, clean energy
with PGE, and hands-on construction with NAWIC. STEM Day is for
everyone, so be sure to invite a friend along!

To register a boy sibling, select the "Family Guest" ticket during registration.
- Girl Scouts must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or troop leader. AND adults are required to register and pay to attend. This is not a drop-off activity.
