STEM Week in St. Louis

As part of STEMSTL’s STEM Celebration Week, the Saint Louis Science Center hosted the Project Lead the Way Senior Showcase and Missouri STEM Signing Day on April 28, 2023.

The Project Lead the Way Senior Showcase is an opportunity for students at regional high schools to display and discuss their senior capstone projects in engineering and biomedical science. The showcase included over 100 student projects presented by over 200 students. Students with top projects were also awarded scholarships from local STEM businesses and organizations.

In conjunction with the Project Lead the Way showcase, the Science Center also hosted STEM Signing Day in partnership with the Missouri Chamber of Commerce. Just like signing days for athletes, Missouri STEM Signing Day celebrates Missouri high school seniors as they make commitments to study within a STEM field at a 4-year or 2-year college or technical school. The Missouri Chamber Foundation’s Missouri Mathematics and Science Coalition launched Missouri STEM Signing Day in 2019 to raise awareness of STEM pathways for students beyond high school.

STEM Celebration Week included seven days of hands-on educational activities in science, technology, engineering and math that took place at various locations throughout the region.
