The STEAM Expo is the largest single outreach event at Appalachian State University, reaching hundreds of middle and high school students each year! This event combines interactive displays, campus tours, and on-stage demonstrations to connect students directly to faculty, staff, and students in STEM fields at AppState. School groups register in the spring to participate in this event.
Registration requests are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, and space is limited. The STEAM Expo event will be implemented in accordance with the most current health and safety guidelines, and updates to those policies will be shared with registrants in your registration packet. Once registered, you will receive your event agenda by the middle of March and will have the opportunity to verify your participation in accordance with the schedule and current policies. Please note that because of capacity constraints, we will only accept up to 450 participants that day. Once we reach that capacity, we will close the registration form.
STEAM Expo in the news:
- Groups MUST register for the event and will receive a schedule that provides structure for the day's activities.
- Activities are targeted at middle and high school learners; we will prioritize students in grades 6-12.
- All participants must abide by the current health and safety policies in place on the Appalachian State campus, even if they differ from those in their home community.
