Welcome to iExploreSTEM

If you haven't attended a festival you've missed a tornado in a box, stomp rockets, gumdrop bridges, flying sharks, DNA bracelets, turtles, and so much more.

Missed the first eleven festivals? It's not too late. Two more to go.

Join us in Cedar Rapids June 9th or Davenport July 10th.

iExlporeSTEM festivals are a series of hands-on, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) festivals in Iowa. They have the look and feel of a county fair or street festival. They

  • are fun and free
  • are for children of all ages and their families
  • challenge children to think - to solve STEM problems
  • provide a way to meet STEM professionals from firefighters to architects to physicians
  • introduce children and their parents to careers in STEM.  

Kids can try their hand at as many or as few activities as strike their fancy. They might design and build a windmill, dissect a virtual cadaver, or explore a career through video games.

iExploreSTEM is a proud partner of Living with Floods
