Science Fair returns to Steam Plant

by Debbie Pessein

The Second Annual Georgetown Steam Plant Science Fair is on its way! This year’s theme, “Break the System,” invites bold, imaginative projects that challenge the norm, flip the script, and ask “what if?”

But that’s not all—we’re also seeking fashion designers for our upcycled fashion show, “Next Step Beyond”, along with bands, 3-minute performances, peer-reviewed science to mad science experiments, data visualizations, optical illusions, and everything in between.

As you know, this isn’t your average science fair—it’s a celebration grounded S.H.T.E.A.M. (Science, History, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math), brought to life with and by our community.

Submit your project by August 15th, 2025 and join us September 20–21, 2025 for a weekend of creativity, learning, and community celebration.
