STEAMFEST RECAP & THANKS

STEAMFest Logo.png

Millburn Ed Foundation's annual STEAMFest event received amazing support from the community this year!  With over 300 registrants participating, the Millburn community came together to celebrate and support STEAM education by competing in various STEAM Challenges: Virtual Chess Tournament, Math Contest, In-Person USCF-Rated Chess Tournament, Coding and Environmental Challenges. And we can't wait to see what this spring's FilmFest has in store! 

​

Our club and sponsor booths, along with showcases at the MILL and Studio 462 made for a fun Sunday afternoon of STEAM activities for all ages! And we introduced the STEAMFest Showcase this year, with inspiring stories from our Storytellers and invaluable insight from our STEAM career panel.

​

Special thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers and supporters who made this event possible. We'd also like to give a shout out to our amazing 2025 Judges and Challenge Leads! CLICK HERE to see the list of Judges & Challenge Leads.

 

Thank you to the MEF STEAMFEST 2025 Committee: ROMINA PADHI, JEFF CASSIN, JOANNA PARKER-LENTZ, JOE SMITH & DEEPA KRISHNAN.
