An extraordinary event transpired in the Caesars Superdome. Just before kickoff of the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl on December 21, 2,000 parents and children K-12 attended a STEM NOLA STEM FEST, where parents and children learned about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). This was a landmark moment, likely the first time STEM education was ever connected directly with a popular college football bowl game. Three days before Christmas, 2,000 parents and children left their homes to engage in STEM activities – operating a robot, building cars that run, constructing flying drones, watching a sheep heart dissection, riding a hovercraft, and much more.
