The fifth annual STEM Family Day, hosted by the Einstein Project in Green Bay, Wisconsin, promises a day filled with engaging activities for families. This year, the event is expected to draw around 1,500 participants and will feature nearly 40 hands-on activities designed to cater to various age groups and skill levels. Activities range from building paper airplanes to launching model rockets, emphasizing the fun in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

The event is a collaborative effort involving UW-Green Bay, Brown County, and numerous community organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club and local museums. Jacob Depas, director of development for the Einstein Project, highlighted the initiative's growth since its inception, particularly after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, noting that the first year attracted only about 100 people.

The STEM Family Day not only provides a platform for hands-on learning but also aims to inspire future generations to pursue STEM fields, with hopes that some participants will eventually enroll in STEM majors at UW-Green Bay. Importantly, the event is free, ensuring accessibility for all families, and is supported by local sponsors, reinforcing the community's commitment to education and engagement in STEM.
