JONESBORO – Arkansas State University Museum will welcome guests from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10, for STEAMFest.

Attendees will fill A-State Museum’s atmosphere with curiosity, innovation and discovery.

Visitors can engage in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) activities throughout the museum and grounds. In the STEAM-charged environment, guests will solve problems, tinker, experiment, create art, make plants sing, get messy with scientific exploration, freely fail and try again.

“We’re most creative when we’re playing," said Jill Kary, curator of education at the museum. “In other words, true genius happens when we allow ourselves to fail without fear.”

All are invited to attend STEAMFest. For more information about the free event, contact Kary at jkary@AState.edu, or call (870) 972-2074. Or the Arkansas Science Festival director, Dr. Karen Yanowitz, at kyanowit@AState.edu or (870) 972-3064.
