Every year, Northwest takes a break from the typical school schedule to celebrate and revel in all things STEM.
Our annual STEMtacular extravaganza showcases Science, Math, Engineering and Technology themed activities and reminds us of the joys, discoveries, and challenges of STEM. As well as the many ways in which it intersects with the arts, humanities, languages, and more!
