Welcome to STEMposium

What is STEMposium?

STEMposium is a video contest and event to celebrate STEM education. STEMposium is culmination of the most innovative and compelling concepts in STEM education celebrated through an evening of presentations by STEM innovators. 

The annual STEMposium event takes place every April at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Guests have the opportunity to enjoy the these stunning facilities while watching presentations by STEM innovators who are selected from one of the five tracks: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math or Integrated STEM. 

Students, teachers and other educational innovators are selected through a STEMposium video contest in which they tell their story of STEM through 60 second videos.  The most compelling videos are selected through several rounds of reviews, starting in February and ending in March. Selected presenters are invited to speak at the STEMposium event  at the California Academy of Sciences in April.
