A free event for all northwest Ohio families and the entire community. Featuring:

  • Free lunch and other refreshments (while supplies last)
  • Free take-home activities
  • Free STEM materials

What do you get when you cross a giant bubble,
a snake, and a mechanical engineer?

You get... STEM in the Park

Join us for a family day of hands-on fun at Bowling Green State University (rain or shine) featuring a free lunch, take-home STEM activities, and everything from sea creatures to pop rockets. You won’t want to miss it!

STEM in the Park will feature interactive displays and activities created by community partners and area universities to engage children of all ages in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
