Dive into discovery at the UNCW STEM Expo hosted by the University of North Carolina Wilmington as part of North Carolina Science Festival! This free, family-friendly event brings science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to life through interactive, hands-on activities inspired by our coast, oceans, and marine environments.

Students, families, and community members can explore marine science, coastal engineering, environmental technology, and ocean conservation through interactive exhibits, meaningful hands-on activities, and creative challenges led by university faculty, students, and community partners. Build ocean-friendly engineering solutions, drive a remotely operated vehicle, learn about marine organisms, explore coastal ecosystems, discover how STEM helps protect our shores, and so much more.
