We’re Building STEAM In Kannapolis

Join us for a variety of fun family events on October 7, as we celebrate (STEAM) - Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math.

The Building STEAM Festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the North Carolina Research Campus Horseshoe (401 Laureate Way, Kannapolis). The event is free and will include activities for children, teenagers, and parents – both indoors and outdoors on the campus.
