5th graders having a fun and sometimes intense discussion on how to go about completing their activity for the day.
Seriously fun!
STEM Fair Photos!
We had a total blast at our school’s first ever STEM Fair! The heavy rain and storm didn’t stop us from running this event, nor did it stop over 60 volunteers and roughly 200 families from coming and supporting us. Thank you all so much!
It was so much fun! Here are some photos from the event, and you can find more by going to our Facebook page.

Volunteers needed for the STEM Fair!
We have a LOT of exciting things in store for everyone! But we need your help to bring it to life! If you would like to share your passion and interest with our community, please sign up as one of our station attendants or to help before and after the event.
A “Certificate of Service Hours” is available for middle and high school students. This is a great way to earn volunteer hours to make that college application more appealing while giving back to the community!
Oh, and all volunteers get snacks and beverages!
Be a STEM Hero and sign up to volunteer today!
STEM FAIR UPDATE: Meet a Chef!
Join us for a hands-on pancake making adventure with Kalyani Khodke, a parent at Stevens Creek Elementary and Founder of The Dancing Chef. Every flip and flop will uncover science secrets and reveal that chefs need to perfect math to make perfect pancakes. Not only you get to mix your own batter, but you also get to taste your creations! Yum! And if you purchase a healthy pancake mix, 20% of the sales will go to the Stevens Creek PTO!
Booth open 10am – 12pm.

2nd Annual STEM Week in Photos
It was another success! Big shout out to our teachers for signing up and taking their classes to the event, and also to our volunteers that made this event possible (like seriously). And most importantly, thanks for the students for wanting this event to come back year after year. If only I could grant their wish and host this event more than once a year, I totally would. That would be a dream come true!
Here are some photos from the week. Visit our Facebook page for more photos and videos.
Program a robot!
At the STEM Fair, you get to program Evo! These programmable robots are the tiniest of their kind and have wheels, sensors, lights, and sounds that make it fun to operate. They can be programmed with or without a device which offers versatility across grade levels. Check it out at the STEM Fair!
STEM FAIR UPDATE: Design a Rocket!
Do you like aviation? Do you like rockets? Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the science behind things that fly. Cupertino High School Aviation and Rocketry Club is sharing their passion and expertise in designing rockets. So swing by their booth at the STEM Fair and you even get to launch it yourself!
