Buckeye Air Fair

In 2015, the City of Buckeye joined the Festival by creating two events. The first was a city-wide SciTech crawl that focused on water, medical and astronomy. Participants learned about the science behind forensics and fire apparatuses at the Buckeye Firehouse 703, the latest medical training equipment at the Buckeye Banner Medical facility, astronomy at the Buckeye Sundance Library and a behind the scenes look at how water is cleaned at the Buckeye Wastewater plant. The second opportunity was integrating about a dozen STEM based exhibitors into the Buckeye Air Fair. Now in 2023, these experiences will be 3 full days of STEM at the Buckeye Airport. The planning committee for the Buckeye Air Fair is excited to increase the number of field trip attendees on Friday and celebrate aviation careers during the weekend. Buckeye has welcomed visitors from across the state and are anticipating even more participation this year. The City of Buckeye has enjoyed the collaboration with the Arizona SciTech Festival over the years and look forward to many more!

Cave Fest

Kartchner Caverns State Park is a state park of Arizona, featuring a show cave with 2.4 miles of passages. The park is located 9 miles south of the town of Benson and west of the north-flowing San Pedro River.

Over the two day event, participants at Cave Fest engaged in a variety of activities hour by hour, viewed special displays, and listened to presentations about the science of the cave! Many even took a tour inside and met amazing new friends. This event was able to connect the public with the wonders of a pristine underground world!
