Gila County STEMFest celebrating seventh year

Posted

This year, Gila County will once again host STEMFest at the beautiful Gila Community College in conjunction with GCC’s annual Arbor Day Celebration at 8274 S. Six Shooter Cyn. Rd. in Globe on Saturday, April 28

Discover the many ways water works in our world. Plant a tree with GCC and enjoy art displayed around campus. Learn about soil and watch how the GHS robotics club designs, constructs and operates one of its inventions. Learn from law enforcement how math is used in investigations and take the opportunity to tour the GCC campus. STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) is everywhere.

The Pinal Mountain Foundation for Higher Education will be selling food to raise money for scholarships, and the Gem and Mineral Society will sell raffle tickets to raise money for scholarships.

STEMFest is a free community event that celebrates STEM and the many ways STEM affects our daily lives. STEMFest is for everyone — families, children, students, teachers and community members alike.

STEMFest offers an interactive, hands-on experience that leaves lasting impressions on festival goers. With numerous demonstrations and fun activity booths, there is something for everyone.

Gila County School Superintendent Roy Sandoval invites everyone to attend this fun and educational event.

“Participating in the STEMFest activities and demonstrations is a great way to spend a Saturday morning,” Sandoval said. “Come on out and join in the fun — there really is some-thing for everyone, and there is always more to learn about how and why things work the way they do.”

STEMFest is sponsored by the Gila County School Super-intendent’s office and Gila Community College.

It is made possible by the many organizations, businesses, agencies, clubs, and civic groups that come together to bring STEM alive in Gila County.
