USA Science and Engineering Festival 2016 - Day 2

April 22, 2016

Hundreds of exhibitors and hundreds of thousands of visitors made this a STEM-packed weekend.

The 2016 installment of the USA Science and Engineering Festival wrapped up today (April 17^th), featuring a packed crowd from start to finish. This was the fourth USA Science and Engineering Festival that runs all week, but everything builds up to the STEM Expo over the weekend. Covering the entire event was an exercise in futility—what with more than 3,000 exhibitors and an estimated 350,000 attendees—but here are a few of the highlights.
