Harris-Stowe State University, in partnership with the Midwest Institute for STEM Research and the St. Louis Gateway Chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers, will host STEM at The STOWE from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday May 3.
Students in grades K–12 and families are invited to explore science, technology, engineering, and math through hands-on activities, live demonstrations, and engaging workshops on the campus of Harris-Stowe at 3026 Laclede Ave., in St. Louis.
“This event reflects our deep commitment to equity in STEM education,” said Harvey R. Fields, Jr., Ph.D., College of STEM dean.
“We’re proud to open our campus to young minds and introduce them to a world of opportunity in STEM—right here at ‘The Stowe.’”
From coding and robotics to solar tech, cybersecurity, water science, and environmental sustainability, STEM at the STOWE will include STEM professionals, educators, and community partners to create an immersive, empowering day of discovery.
Attendees will enjoy lunch, T-shirts, giveaways, and a $5 gift card for completing a brief event survey.
“This is where curiosity meets community—and where young minds begin to see endless possibilities,” said Dr. Terrence Freeman of the Midwest Institute for STEM Research.
“We’re thrilled to launch this inaugural partnership with Harris-Stowe and NSBE PCI to bring an engaging, hands-on STEM experience to the community. Together, we’re building a generation of STEM thinkers who are bold enough to ask, learn, and lead.”
