Save the Date for STEM Exploration Night, April 12, 2023

Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) is proud to announce a return to an in-person event for our sixth annual STEM Exploration Night!

On Wednesday, April 12, 2022, from 6-8 pm at Federal Way High School, PreK-12 students and families are invited to explore this exciting event to explore the many possibilities through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

At the event, you can check out booths, engaging and informative panel discussions, interactive activities, and more! The event will spark STEM curiosity in young students and provide further insight into career possibilities for our emerging leaders. Students of all grade levels will find what they need to explore, prepare, and launch into one of the many STEM opportunities leading to high-demand careers in our region.  

Did you know? By 2030, 87% of high-demand, family-sustaining jobs will require a postsecondary degree or credential, and 67% of those jobs will be STEM-related ¹. It is important for FWPS to provide scholars with the ability to explore opportunities in STEM, which is one of the many pathways to a BRIGHT future! 

Take a trip down memory lane by checking out the recap from our last in-person STEM Exploration Night in 2019.

The STEM Exploration Night draws thousands of scholars and their families for a fun-filled night interacting with STEM businesses, STEM career preparation programs, and school-based STEM projects and clubs. FWPS welcomes support from local community members and businesses to make the night a success, and offers two ways to get involved:
