The eighth annual Oregon STEM Week happens May 14-22 — a week-long celebration of all things STEM happening across Oregon.
Organizations, individuals, and classrooms can register their STEM event (private or public) to show what is happening in their area and to be entered for daily prizes, said a press release. Daily, themed challenges are also provided on the STEM Oregon website, stemoregon.org/stem-week-2022.
If you’re a business, community organization, or individual hosting an event related to STE(A)M, register your event at stemoregon.org/stem-week-2022.
