Hosted at the Texas A&M University Student Recreation Center, this competition, now in its sixth year as a permanent venue, allows students to showcase their scientific endeavors and compete for further opportunities at larger competitions.

Among the participating students were four bright individuals from College Station ISD, who presented impressive projects tackling real-world issues.

These projects exemplify the kind of innovative thinking that the STEM festival aims to inspire in the younger generations.
