Our Mission

The mission of the MSU Science Festival is to celebrate the many ways science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (the STEAM disciplines) touch our everyday lives and shape our future, broaden public access to informal learning environments, create meaningful direct interactions with scientists, and inspire the workforce of the future.

Our Goals are to: 

• Provide a rare opportunity for people of all ages to experience STEAM live and discover new concepts through hands-on experiences and face-to-face interactions with faculty, staff, and students
• Inspire future generations about STEAM fields and opportunities
• Promote MSU as a champion of STEAM outreach and research across the state
• Provide a platform for faculty, staff, and students to develop and hone informal science communication skills
• Create networking opportunities with other scientific, cultural, and educational institutions
