According to the Idaho Department of Labor and U.S. Department of Labor , STEM professions are among the fastest growing, most abundant and highest paying occupations in Idaho and the U.S. with 10 out of 10 “Idaho’s Hot Jobs” representing STEM related needs in Idaho alone. In 2016, only 2,000 Idaho students graduated with degrees in STEM fields while the Idaho Department of Labor projects a need for 36,000 STEM degrees.

Last year’s Health Expo was a huge success, attracting more than 1,000 students and parents. This year’s event is sure to be even bigger as the District expands to many more STEM fields.  All Boise School District junior and senior high school students and their parents are invited to attend this year’s STEM Expo 2020. The STEM Expo will be held at the Dennis Technical Education Center, 3324 S. Pro Tech Drive, Boise (behind the District Services Center on Victory Road). Exhibits open at 5 p.m. and panel discussions begin at 5:30 p.m. 

Admission to STEM Expo 2020 is free! The first 100 students admitted receive free earbuds.  All Boise School District students can also enter to win an iPad, Ozobot Evo, Sphero Bolt or Ollie! Special thanks to St. Luke’s Health System, Idaho STEM Action Center, and Sparklight for being sponsors of this year’s event!
