 Wellesley, MA – Following a series of discussions with the founding steering committee of the Wellesley Science & Technology Expo, the Wellesley Education Foundation (WEF) is pleased to announce the decision to launch this much anticipated town-wide science and technology exposition as a WEF event next spring.  Planned for April 5, 2014, the event will promote hands-on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning through exhibits, lectures, movies, and demonstrations at Wellesley High School.  Residents of all ages are invited to join K-12 students, local college and university faculty and students, area corporations and organizations, and the community at large at the high school.  The building will be transformed for a day into an interactive science museum offering experiential activities appropriate for all age levels.

The Expo will support the WPS curriculum areas of life and environmental science, physical science, earth science and space, technology, engineering and mathematics, and will showcase leading scientists and technologists from around town. Similar to the WEF Spelling Bee, this community-wide event is designed to bring citizens together in a fun and engaging way through the real-time experience of cutting edge developments that span the science and technology universe. 

Have ideas? Interested in participating?  Just want to be on our mailing list for future updates?   Please contact us at: wellesleysciencetechexpo@gmail.com.
