DiscoverSTEM is a reverse science fair set up like a trade show where local STEM companies exhibit the latest technologies for students in grades 7 through 12 and the community.

Students can view the exhibits or volunteer to work side-by-side with exhibitors during the Open House. Exhibitors are representatives from local STEM firms (engineers, scientists and techies) who teach the student volunteers about their products, services, ideas and inventions and share their passion for STEM. Exhibitors and students then demonstrate their knowledge. The event is held from 6:00 to 8:30pm at Acton-Boxborough Regional High School and culminates in a raffle with fantastic prizes.

We are also looking for student volunteers. Community Hours will be provided. Interested students please apply here: AB STEAM
