STEM Expo

Jay Jessen, Director of the Marburger STEM Center at Lawrence Technological University, quickly embraced the opportunity to provide interactive STEM learning opportunities for K-12 students during the upcoming Kingsford Centennial celebration. Jessen has arranged for LTU’s 40-foot tech trailer filled with engaging content to host a STEM Expo that will occur at select times on Friday and Saturday. Having graduated from Kingsford High School in 2006, Jessen is eager to contribute to the community that nurtured his own passion for STEM learning.

The STEM Expo will include an enclosed autonomous drone zone, 4-wheel drive programmable robots, an interactive full-size robotic arm, liquid nitrogen demonstrations, and other hands-on STEM learning activities. A Baja SAE competition vehicle from the LTU Blue Devil Motorsports program will also be on display. Baja SAE is an SAE-sponsored collegiate design competition in which student teams design, build, test, and race single-seat off-road vehicles.
