STEM City Hosts Virtual STEM Nights beginning May 3
The eighth annual event seeks virtual presenters and STEMMY nominees
FLAGSTAFF, Arizona – STEM City will be hosting virtual STEM nights beginning on Monday,
May 3rd with community partner organizations via the groups’ Facebook page,
FlagstaffSTEMCity. Participating organizations are creating science, technology, engineering,
arts, and mathematic video presentations highlighting their work in the greater Flagstaff
community. The resources will also be made available to area educators as classroom
materials to enhance learning opportunities in area schools.
“Unfortunately, we will not be hosting this event in-person this year,” shared STEM City
President Mike Thomas. “We are excited to continue forward with the spirit of this event in a
different format, continuing to celebrate STEM in this community, and offer learning
opportunities to all that participate.”
Organizations interested in participating in the event can contact STEM City at
coordinator@flagstaffstemcity.com for additional information.
“This is a great opportunity for local businesses and organizations to showcase their
contributions and inspire their future leaders” says board member Anne Hamlin. “It’s also a great
opportunity for local students to see what STEM careers look like on the other side of their
classes and graduation.”
One of the presentations that will be included in the event is the annual STEMMY Awards
highlighting individual contributions. Nominations for the awards are now available online at
www.flagstaffstemcity.com. Last year’s virtual STEMMY Awards ceremony is currently available
here.
A schedule for the event will be posted to the STEM City website, www.flagstaffstemcity.com, the week before the event.
