Past STEM Fair: 2024

On Wednesday, April 24 2024, we had our first STEM Fair at Puesta since 2019! We had over 45 projects, ranging from "What's my cat favorite color" to "Kinetics" to "Hydrogen Peroxide" to "Rock Crystals". The enthusiasm from our scientists were amazing. We loved their curiosity, positive attitude and willingness to experiment.

Thank you to all the students and parents for participating in the STEM fair and taking time out of your busy schedule to support your student's STEM journey. Thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors for offering your time to this event.
