Minnesota’s biggest celebration of all thing’s science, engineering, technology, and mathematics is SciMathMN STEM Day at the Fair. And in keeping with tradition- we are excited to announce once again STEM Day will be opening day! SciMathMN will bring STEM education providers and corporate leaders together in Dan Patch Park on the Fairgrounds in front of the Grandstand. This year’s celebration is Thursday, August 21, and you are invited!

Want to get more involved? This is your opportunity! The success of the day relies on all the volunteers stepping forward to make it happen. There will be lots to do but also lots of fun to be had. Your participation is key to the success of our annual STEM Day. Learn more about volunteering and sign up HERE!

With exhibitors’ and stage shows throughout the day- families will be able to explore weather, flight, augmented reality, robotics, medical technology, mapping techniques, environmental remediation strategies, 3D printing, and so much more. They will be able to discover STEM education providers that offer programs in schools, in their communities, and in the summer.
