Free STEM learning day for Minneapolis families

More than a thousand K-8th grade students are expected to converge on Target Plaza Saturday, May 6, to explore the world of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), hosted by Summit Academy’s Northside STEM District.

Volunteers from more than 20 Twin Cities STEM companies will guide students with hands-on activities to uncover the wonders of STEM. Participants will learn to code robots, launch rockets and fly drones.

A free shuttle will pick up participants at Summit Academy at 935 Olson Memorial Highway in Minneapolis and drop them off at the event, which will be held from 11 am to 2 pm at Target Plaza Commons, 1001

Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis.

Northside STEM District’s vision is to build a strong, diverse pipeline of STEM leaders and innovators within the North Minneapolis ecosystem. The pipeline of talent starts in preschool, moves into K-12, is complemented by summer and out-of-school experiences, and culminates with STEM credentials.
