Background information on MESA Day

MESA Day is a huge day for our students and teachers, it is a culmination of all the hard work they have put into the competition projects they have been working towards in their classes, during lunch, and afterschool.  Not all students come to compete.  Many, come to partake in the STEM demos and hands-on activities that we offer.  In all, it is a whole day dedicated to enjoying STEM activities with their peers, teachers, and volunteers.
