The 3rd annual Kansas Science Festival took place in downtown Manhattan today, attracting hundreds of people from across the state. The festival featured over 150 presenters in 50 booths showcasing a wide range of activities related to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). Organizers emphasized the importance of lifelong learning and encouraged both children and adults to engage with the exhibits.
Phillip Shults, the program coordinator for the festival, highlighted the goal of getting people excited about science and learning. He expressed gratitude for the community support that made the event possible and noted that everyone can take something away from it regardless of age. Due to weather conditions, some activities were relocated to the library to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
The festival was a success thanks to the collaborative effort of STEAM practitioners, volunteers, and community members who were dedicated to promoting science education and exploration. Their commitment left a positive impact on all who participated in the event.
