It’s true- The Wellesley STEM Expo 2015 is back for a second year on March 28th 2015 at Wellesley High School.

The goal of Wellesley STEM Expo is to create a free, hands-on public science museum that showcases major topics and innovations sparking curiosity in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math. Expo is designed to advance public knowledge, best practices and partnerships in the STEM disciplines in addition to showcasing the fun side of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

Building on the success and inspiration from last year, this year’s Expo will showcase an expanded Robot Zoo to encompass the entire high school gym! Come see Wellesley First Lego League teams as well as robotics research teams from local universities and robotics companies all, under one roof.

Additional enhancements to this year’s Expo will include the addition of a sports cluster highlighting STEM in action in your favorite sports such as the Baseball Research Center from UMass Lowell, and the formation of a new Teen Advisory Committee to increase teen participation and incorporation of the Arts in STEM to form STEAM.
