The success of the annual X-STEM symposium in Washington, DC—an event featuring interactive presentations from STEM visionaries—has led the USA Science & Engineering Festival team to branch out to other cities in the United States beginning with X-STEM at Travis Air Force Base in Northern California this month.

X-STEM DC, presented by NCR Foundation, will return March 19, with more than 3,000 students ready to engage with real-life STEM role models.

Next up is the Clippers SciFest SoCal March 22–23 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The goal of this event is to inspire a new generation of STEM professionals on the West Coast, tapping into the LA Clippers’ strong relationships with businesses, schools, community groups, and government stakeholders. Clippers SciFest SoCal will start off smaller in size than the DC Expo, but will incorporate all the components.

With the theme “Vision for STEM,” the 2020 expo is set to return April 25–26, 2020, to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center as the nation’s largest STEM education and workforce development event.
