Summerville High School announced the upcoming Summerville STEMfest, a celebration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, taking place on Saturday, February 24th, 2024 from 11 am to 3:30 pm at the Summerville High School Career and Technology Center located at 102 GreenWave Blvd.
STEMfest is an annual event that originally started as a way to drive interest in STEM education and the Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs offered at Summerville High School. Over the years, it has grown into a festival that includes robotics demonstrations, teaching tables, and an Engineering-focused competition. This year's theme is "Overcoming Overdevelopment," focusing on finding solutions to the challenges of rapid growth and development in the Summerville community.
Sabrina Dagley, a student co-organizer of STEMfest and President of the Engineering & Esports Clubs, shared her excitement about the event: "STEMfest allows me to gain crucial skills I will need in the future. I hope that many people will come to STEMfest and enjoy everything we have to offer."
Jeanette Trageser, Engineering Teacher & Engineering Club Sponsor, expressed her pride in the students' efforts: "I’m extremely proud of the club and the work the students have put toward the festival. They have organized an exceptional event and have made a point to include activities that will interest students of all ages as well as our community members."
STEMfest is open to students in grades K-12 and community members. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in engineering competitions, including trebuchet, rube Goldberg, gliders, and more.
