Mission Statement
STEAM Maker Festival is a collaborative venue for students, educators and professionals within our community and industry to demonstrate programs, projects, practices and resources that enrich STEAM education. The STEAM Maker Festival is an opportunity for members of our community to come out and display their commitment to the outreach of STEAM programs and to show that SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY can impact learning in fun and exciting ways. STEAM Maker Festival unites San Diego Sponsors, Foundations, Schools, Parents, Students and Community Partners for a grand hands-on STEAM experience. 100% of all proceeds and sponsorship go directly to allowing us to provide free events, programs and activities to San Diego County schools, including all our STEAM Challenges which welcome hundreds of participants from 200+ schools, in addition to over 6000+ attendees, all from DIVERSE socioeconomic backgrounds.
