Vermont EPSCoR and the Vermont 4-H program teamed up to present Science Fun Day, a two-hour-long set of activities for elementary students of grades 3-5. Held at the Barre Civic Center on May 21, 2023, this free event focused on hands-on STEM activities that helped students apply scientific learning to many different projects. Participants got to apply skills used by NASA scientists, alien geneticists, and aerospace engineers as they learned, created, and applied new knowledge, all while having fun.

Sponsored by Vermont 4-H in partnership with Vermont EPSCoR, Science Fun Day utilized 4-H Teen Science Ambassadors, who are high school students taking a leadership role in creating STEM programming. Everyone involved got to learn a new role and apply scientific skills in a fun way.
