SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — South Lake Tahoe families are invited to spend an evening exploring science, technology, engineering, and math at STEM Discovery Night, a free community event hosted by Lake Tahoe Community College and Lake Tahoe Unified School District. The event takes place on Friday, May 8, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in the multi-purpose room at South Tahoe Middle School.

Now in its third year, STEM Discovery Night is open to students in kindergarten through 12th grade and their families. The evening features hands-on tinkering stations, robotics demonstrations, interactive exhibits, and a pop-up “Discovery Museum” experience. Food trucks will be on site, and raffle prizes will be given away throughout the night.

The event is a collaborative effort between LTCC’s TRiO, Hispanic Serving Institution and Dual Enrollment programs, Dr. Jamie Orr, The Marcella Foundation, and LTUSD’s CTE and Science Departments.

“STEM Discovery Night started as a shared vision among many of us, to plant a seed of curiosity and a love for learning in our students and families,” said Gladys Aguilar, Director of TRiO Programs at LTCC. “We are incredibly proud to bring this event to our community and create a space where science, exploration, and discovery can come to life.”

Admission is free and open to the public. The Slice Shack and Limonada will be on-site food vendors for the evening.
