Attendees will have the opportunity to: 

● Participate in live STEM demonstrations and experiments ● Learn about today’s advances and tomorrow’s future in STEM ● Interact with the latest STEM­inspired toys and games 

● Create and take home their own STEM projects ● Be entertained with live STEM shows ● Meet innovative and passionate STEM teachers and leading experts 

INNOVATION WORLDS 

 

BUILDERS BOULEVARD Some kids like to use their minds while others like to use their hands. This world mashes them together! The young innovator gets to be creative with what they want to build and then has an opportunity to make it real. Fans of construction toys are in heaven here. 

 

BIOLOGISTS BAY

We know pretty early on who is a dog whisperer. That stated, this love of life reaches beyond dogs, and even mammals! Lovers of cats, spiders, dolphins, tulips, bacteria, and even velociraptors will have a chance to immerse themselves into all that is living (or was alive at some point)! 

 

PILOTS PAD Dreams of flying are never in short supply, especially with children. The Pilots Pad is all about air and space so your future aviator has an outlet to soar. Whether you have an aspiring jet pilot or a hopeful astronaut, we have the perfect place for them to discover flight. 

 

SORCERERS SQUARE Step into the portal to discover our science fiction and fantasy world. Whether you’re a fan of Star Wars, World of Warcraft, or Harry Potter, this is one place where you can feel right at home. No offense to lovers of the real world. 

 

LAB-RATS LAIR Do you have a child who loves to experiment with science? Of course you do! What kid wouldn’t want to see the explosion when you put Mentos in Coke? In the Lab-Rats Lair, we conduct safe, and sometimes gooey experiments that strange science fans of all ages can enjoy. 

 

PERFORMERS PARADISE STEAM is STEM with the addition of arts and music. Learning and exploring the arts tune children into their creative side by engaging them in the most right-brained arena of the fair. Be entertained or discover your calling to be the world’s next superstar!  

 

ROBOTS RETREAT If there is one area to look for the latest innovations, robotics is certainly a great place to start. Being able to watch a robot in action is nice but it’s hard to beat the satisfaction of building and controlling a life-like machine for yourself! 

 

HACKERS HIDEOUT It’s chic to be geek these days. For those who crave technology, this is where you can ride the wave of the future and push technology to its limits! Innovators of hardware and software are welcome. 

 

NUMBERS NATION Mathematics and competition collide at Numbers Nation. If you are looking for a place to test your number prowess, challenge others in games of brainpower and dexterity, or simply hone your knowledge of the universe’s common language, then this is the place for you. 

 

CONSERVATIONISTS CORNER Being green can be rewarding to you and your surroundings. Creative advocates of air, water, natural resources, and more will be amazed by today’s energy advances. In other words, this environment is for the environment.
