STEM Day is Saturday, June 3!

What: The FREE-to-attend STEM Expo is a hands-on and educational opportunity for kids of all ages to learn, interact and participate in science, technology, engineering and math activities and demonstrations.

Together, we understand the importance of equipping youth with the knowledge and skills to solve tough problems, gather and evaluate evidence and comprehend information.

The first 350 kids that show up will get a special goodie bag! Get there early, these ran out fast last year with over 500 kids attending!

Where: Bismarck Municipal Ballpark Home of Dakota Community Bank & Trust Field

When: Saturday, June 3 from 10AM to 1PM

We have special LIVE SCIENCE experience happening at 12:15PM!

Where do I park? Participants can park in the parking lot for Bismarck Municipal Ballpark, but should access the lot from Hanafin St. There is no access via Sweet Ave. before or during the event (until 1 PM) due to the BisMarket happening at the same time.

What else is going to be at this FREE event? We’re going to have mascot appearances, hands-on activities and booths hosted by local businesses, prize drawings at check-in, and concessions will be open for snacks to be purchased.

Here are the booths for kids to check out!

All of the booths are FREE to check out! Reach out to Ryan Reneker at @ryan@larksbaseball.com if you’re interested in hosting a booth this year.

Who are the 2023 STEM All-Stars?

Every summer, we make it our mission to recognize six all-star students who exhibit hard work, dedication, and a commitment to using STEM to serve their school and community. Students are nominated by their teacher for their love of learning. The winners are then carefully selected by MDU Resources and Gateway to Science. Students in grades 1-12 attending North Dakota schools are eligible.

In honor of their accomplishment, the Larks will recognize each of the 2022 STEM All-Stars during MDU Resources Group and Gateway to Science STEM Night on Saturday, August 6.

Each STEM All-Star receives the following:
