Hundreds of students from all 18 Merced City School District campuses came together on May 18, 2016 for one fun-filled STEAM Fair at Tenaya Middle School.

This event was a chance for the schools to showcase their work in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.  It featured hands-on activities, display tables, and performing groups.  The projects included everything from robots to rockets to flubber-making stations.

All grade levels from pre-school through eighth were represented, and several other community partners were also on hand to show how the subjects of “STEAM” impact their organizations every day.

Organizers say this interactive approach keeps students interested and engaged as they learn important lessons that will help prepare them for bright futures in high demand fields.  The fair also gives the community a chance to see some of the outstanding work being done in classrooms throughout the Merced City School District.
