The Arizona SciTech Festival provides families with opportunities to explore participate in hands-on learning experiences that inspire creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving. These skills are key components of a world-class education and necessary for our students to be prepared for the jobs of the future. Ensuring that Arizona students are engaged and excited about Science and Technology will help ensure that more of our kids will be prepared and qualified to do these jobs. This will help to attract much needed businesses to our state as well. So, developing and supporting strong STEM education programs in Arizona will not only have a lasting impact on our students, but will help to secure a stronger future for our state. With the help of the SciTech Festival, Arizona has the potential to be a cultural center in science and technology.

The SciTech Festival offers activities and events that engage, inspire and spark imagination across entire communities. Through diverse programming encompassing practical and hands-on workshops, displays and exhibitions, broadcasts, concerts and plays, site visits and guided walks and tours, Arizonans will develop a first hand understanding of the importance of science and technology for our state.
