SciFEST

Sept. 17–20, 2026

High school students are invited to join us for this on-campus STEM experience. Students will design, solve problems, connect with others, and be challenged. This weekend opportunity is recommended for junior and senior high school and homeschool students, although any high school students at any level are welcome. This year's theme is Cells.

To kick off the experience, students can choose to participate in a 3D printing Workshop, Natural History Museum Tour, or exercising/swimming at the Andreason Center. On Friday, students will work in small groups to complete STEM lab challenges in areas of Aviation, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, and Sustainable Agriculture. A Science and Faith panel discussion of "World Views & Approaches to Science" will include responses to student questions. Worship with us on Sabbath and experience life on campus. A Saturday night QuizBowl game show culminates the event.  Team prizes will be awarded based on percentages (1st place 100-90%, 2nd place 89-80%, 3rd place 79-70%), and scholarships will be given to all students who participate. 

STEM teachers and homeschool parents are encouraged to register a whole team(s) or individual students (3-5 students per team).
