On behalf of Florida A&M University and the STEM Day Planning Committee, I want to thank the many students, faculty, staff, sponsors, and supporters who helped make STEM Day 2017 a tremendous success. STEM Day is one of FAMU's signature STEM outreach initiatives. This year’s event included 311 middle and high school students, 84 parents, nine invited speakers from industry and academia, 28 FAMU faculty members, 14 FAMU academic programs and 9 external programs. We were also very fortunate to receive generous financial support and donations from 20 sponsors, which allowed materials, supplies, giveaways, and food to be provided to the participants.

The theme of STEM Day was “Harness the Power: GET AMPED UP,” which provided students with hands-on problem solving experience in STEM disciplines. During the day, students had an opportunity to listen to engaging presentations from several invited speakers and participate in the Science Expo, where they received information about FAMU’s academic programs and STEM initiatives.

The day was met with great excitement from program participants. Planning has already begun to make next year’s event an even greater success. We look forward to your continued support and collaboration.
