STEMFest 2026 is a FREE, high-energy, hands-on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics festival designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning in children ages 3–11. Held at the JCC of Schenectady on Sunday, October 18, from 1-4 pm, this event will feature more than 20 interactive STEM activity stations where children can explore concepts through play, experimentation, problem-solving, and discovery. In addition to the activity stations, STEMFest will include large-scale STEM presentations, a dedicated construction room where children can design and build, and a quiet story-time area where younger children can enjoy STEM-themed stories and activities. The festival will provide an engaging, family-friendly environment where children of different ages and interests can learn, create, and have fun together.
