BPS STEM Fair – Judges Portal
The BPS STEM Fair will be on Saturday, March 8th, 2025
On Saturday, March 8th the Boston Public Schools’ Science, Technology, and Engineering Department (BPS STE) will host the 2025 Citywide Boston STEM Fair, held in-person at the Reggie Lewis Center, in collaboration with the Center for STEM Education. Judging will take place from 9:00am-12:00pm, with a judges check-in and orientation between 8:00-9:00am. On behalf of the students of BPS, we would like to invite you to participate as a Judge for the fair, and hope that you will be able to join us!
Putting a focus on STEM is a major goal of the Boston Public Schools. We want all students to be scientifically literate and to develop an understanding of fundamental science, technology, engineering and math concepts. Each year the Boston STEM Fair provides an opportunity for students to “do” STEM. As the students prepare for the fair, they not only learn important concepts but they also learn how we investigate the world. Investing just a few hours of your time will provide encouragement to these bright young students in their quest for excellence in science and technology. We rely on your participation to run the fair and we deeply appreciate your support.
