BETTENDORF, IOWA (January 15, 2026) Join us in bringing the wonders of STEAM — Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, snd Mathematics — to elementary school students and families in our community by hosting a hands-on exhibit at the annual Bett STEAM Expo.
The Bett STEAM Expo will take place on Saturday, March 7, 10AM-1PM, at Bettendorf Middle School.
The event draws more than 700 attendees, primarily elementary-school students and their families from across the local community, for a morning of exploration, creativity, and discovery.
How You Can Get Involved
Community organizations, businesses, educators, and STEAM professionals are invited to host interactive exhibits that feature age-appropriate activities, demonstrations, or experiments in science, technology, engineering, arts, or math. Exhibits that allow students to touch, build, create, and experiment are highly encouraged to make the experience engaging and memorable for young learners.
Hosting an exhibit is a meaningful way to:
- Inspire curiosity and interest in STEAM at an early age;
- Connect with families and students in the community; and
- Showcase careers, skills, and innovation through hands-on learning.
