Held in Washington DC it featured hands-on Science Activities for K-12 students, a TED Style conference for middle and high school students, and inspirational performances by "Science Celebrities".Since the COVID pandemic in 2020, our mission, To Inspire the Next Generation of Innovators has been carried out online with our virtual programs, X-STEM All Access and the Spark of STEM Coffee Break Series. As of 2022, we also renewed our X-STEM In Person events on a regional basis.
