The National STEM Festival is building the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and STEM leaders.
We showcase the brightest student ideas—and connect them with the industries, experts, and opportunities shaping the future of science, technology, and society.
Our mission: To build a diverse, future-ready talent pipeline by equipping young people with the tools, mentorship, and real-world skills they need to succeed in tomorrow’s workforce.
Now growing globally - National STEM Festival x Armenia.
In March, we signed an agreement with GITC – Information Technologies Center to bring the Festival to Armenia in 2026.
