CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF ARIZONA SCITECH FESTIVAL MAGIC

The SciTech Institute’s Community Events Calendar is the #1 resource to learn about and register for STEM events taking place throughout the state of Arizona. With new events added almost daily – both by our trained staff and by you, our community liaisons, the Community Events Calendar is the most up-to-date and comprehensive list of Arizona’s STEM activities available anywhere on the web.

This year, we’re celebrating the 15th Festival season! To find out what STEM events are happening near you, use the calendar’s simple, interactive filtering tools to find the perfect fit based on age group, topic, audience, location, and more. To find Festival-specific events, simply search “2026 Festival” under ‘Categories.’ And most importantly – don’t forget to check back often!
