A new kind of STEM event:
Rather than look and reading about science, at NextGen STEMFest you experience it! Come do some science with us!
What is happening at NextGen STEMfest?
Walk with a robot, make a DNA bracelet, learn to 3D print, and more!
Innovate and Create
Visit the Charles River Collaboratory to learn about new and emerging technologies!
Located in the historic Boston Manufacturing Company mill in Waltham, the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation chronicles the American Industrial Revolution through its extensive collection of steam engines, watches, and machinery. It serves as a vibrant educational hub that connects the legacy of 19th-century ingenuity with modern-day breakthroughs in technology and design. Admission is free on the day of the festival!
The Charles River Collaboratory is Massachusetts’s only free and youth led Innovation/Maker Space. Throughout the day our youth will be sharing their work with 3D printing, lasers, UV printing, engraving, and more…
There will be 50+ exhibitors that represent all fields of science and technology. Come hang out with robots, learn what biotech is all about, or see what happens in university makerspaces. There is something for everyone!
