PAST events!
West Sound STEM Network has done some cool things!
These PAST events are in the archives so that people can see some of
the exciting science, technology, engineering and math activities going on in our region.
The next STEM Showcase will be held April 28, 2018. See our Showcase page for more info.
Care to host a STEM Cafe? Have some ideas for a booth at the next STEM Showcase? Please contact us!
This popular annual event offers fun and interactive science, technology, engineering & mathematics activities for adults and youth of all ages. The annual event takes place thanks to nearly 70 business, industry and education partners that hosted booths.
The Catapult Challenge was part of the 2014 STEM Showcase event at Kitsap Mall. Students designed, built & brought their catapults for live action marshmallow flinging! (Who could resist this?!)
Although the event is over, you can still download detailed Catapult Challenge instructions for Elementary, Middle School, and High School students. Or, click here for Teacher Resources for the Catapult Challenge. 
The 2016 Bridge Challenge has already taken place, but you can still download detailed Bridge Challenge instructions for Elementary, Middle School, and High School students.
