Heads up, Surprise residents and visitors—the SciTech Festival is about to take over Mark Coronado Park. We're talking a free-entry, day-long celebration of S.T.E.A.M. this Saturday, November 16, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., as detailed by the City of Surprise. Prepare to quickly dive into a world where science and technology intersect in the most hands-on way possible, with over 70 vendors showcasing the latest and greatest in innovation.

Those with a knack for the elements can look forward to live science shows that promise to entertain as much as educate. We're talking robots, coding, and even the nuts and bolts of space exploration. According to the event details from surpriseaz.gov, you’ll also get the chance to peek at innovative demos by local enforcement and several health and wellness booths that'll have you considering a career pivot.

This event has something for everyone! With giveaways like gift baskets, LEGO kits, and a telescope, it’s great for families. Food trucks will fuel your curiosity, and kids can earn a free Raising Cane’s Kids Combo for completing their SciTech passport. Volunteers are welcome to help out, offering a chance to give back while inspiring the next generation of science lovers. Perfect for parents to teach kids about both volunteering and science, as per the City of Surprise.

For more details, contact [email protected] or visit their website. Parking is free but limited, so arrive early. The event is at Coronado Park, 15960 N. Bullard Ave—enter from North Buck O'Neil Way to avoid roadblocks. It’s a science and tech celebration you won’t want to miss!
