Milpitas Unified School District
STEAM Showcase
Made possible through a partnership with the Milpitas Community Educational Foundation (MCEF) and a STEM grant from the Synopsys Outreach Foundation
The 2024 Milpitas Districtwide STEAM Showcase
Saturday, April 6th, 2024 - 8:45am - 12:45pm
Milpitas High School Campus, 1285 Escuela Parkway
Project Presentations, Interactive Demos, STEAM Family Playground Challenges, Concessions, & More!
Our goals include:
Celebrating evidence of learning and highlighting innovative projects and programs in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, & Math.
More inclusive and equitable participation across all school sites and all demographics.
Engaging our families, teachers and community members in STEAM activities
This year we will also put additional focus on showcasing the work taking place within our schools, in STEAM related programs and activities led or facilitated by our teachers, staff, and volunteers.
HYBRID format: Virtual Gallery (website), and an in-person Showcase event with projects presented live.
ALL projects will be required to include digital presentation materials (Google slide presentation and project video) that will be submitted after the project is done.
Virtual Gallery- All projects that receive an initial approval to begin, and then are completed, will have their slide presentations and videos posted in the online STEAM Virtual Gallery.
In-person STEAM Showcase event - The number of projects that can be displayed at the in person event is limited. Therefore, out of all of the projects, only some will be selected to be presented at the in-person STEAM Showcase event on April 6th, 2024. All others will be invited to attend as guests to view and experience all of the projects.
Selection is a multi-level process between the STEAM Committee and school sites. The distribution of project spots will be more balanced across schools, grades, and demographics.
There will be projects that are approved for the Virtual Gallery, but are not selected for the in-person event. Many of these are very good projects; we just can't accommodate all of them. Participants not selected for in-person will still have their projects in the Virtual Gallery and will receive medallions and certificates.
The STEAM Family Playground and Challenges - Will be back again this year! Theme for 2024 - "Fling, Float, Fly, ... and Fall!"
Work with family and friends on hands-on activities and mini-challenges. Can you and your team meet the challenge and reach the targets?
ALL students, parents, & community members are invited to view projects at the in-person STEAM Showcase on Saturday, April 6th, 2024.
