More than 100 science projects from Bronx students across all grade levels from Districts 7-12 will be on display on the Field Level concourse. Additionally, the Great Hall will be packed with STEM activities and demonstrations for guests to engage with.
Since the inception of the STEM Expo in 2021, STEM has flourished in the Bronx schools with student participation reaching record highs this year.
