SUPER SATURDAY — HISTORY & OVERVIEW
SUPER SATURDAY is an annual STEM expo. Designed for New York City youth and their families, the event features hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities and demonstrations. Harlem public school students in Pre-K to Grade 12 exhibit their STEM projects, alongside activity booths set up by museums, science & technology centers, colleges & universities, non-profits, professionals, companies, libraries, corporations, government agencies, and more. In addition to 100+ activity and exhibit booths, the 2023 event will include a K-12 chess tournament and a Math competition. Since the first Super Saturday attendance has grown from ~200 to nearly 2,500 youth, parents, community leaders and STEM professionals. During the pandemic, the STEM Expo continued to serve its youth partnering with the Brooklyn Nets and the Barclays Center to present a virtual expo hosting over 4000 students from the tri-state area.
The 2023 SUPER SATURDAY STEM EXPO is presented by Manhattan’s Community School District 5, Abyssinian Development Corporation, ELiTE and TECHROW and coordinated by Moshé Crone and the district 5 planning committee for the last 10 years.
