Scheduled for January 30, 2027,the free day supports 4-8 graders to pursue STEM throughout middle and high school, then pursue college degrees in STEM. Launched in 2012, each year features a different science theme, and attendees participate in interactive science projects. Instrumental in the program's success are dedicated science educators and students at Waiakea High School.
