The Las Vegas Science and Technology Festival has kicked off, running from April 26 to May 4. With over 40 events planned, attendees can experience activities such as exploring the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, going behind-the-scenes at the Bellagio Fountains, and participating in a community art workshop at Omega Mart at AREA15.
According to Alexandra Liebman, director of the festival, the event aims to bring science out of textbooks and into the real world, inspiring the next generation of innovators in the community. Moreover, she stated that this event provides businesses with a great opportunity to offer resources and opportunities for youth to learn more about their organization and careers.
The festival concludes with a Science and Technology Expo on May 4 at the World Market Center. During this expo, a $1,000 prize will be awarded to the CCSD school with the highest student and family attendance. All events during the festival are free and open to the public but require registration due to limited space availability. To see the full list of events and register visit the festival’s website.
In conclusion, this event is an excellent opportunity for youth to explore science and technology in an engaging way while also providing them with valuable resources for their future careers.
