STEAMFEST RECAP & THANKS
Millburn Education Foundation’s annual STEAMFest received incredible support from our community this year! Students and families came together once again to celebrate STEAM through Math Contests, Chess Tournaments, Coding Challenge, Environmental Challenge, and our newest addition—Improv Workshops with Papermill Playhouse.
We are especially grateful for the support of our sponsors, Chess in Millburn and Paper Mill Playhouse, whose partnership helped make this event possible.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to all of the volunteers, event leaders, judges, and planning committee members who dedicated their time and energy to bring STEAMFest to life. Your efforts created a fun, inspiring day of learning and creativity for students of all ages.
Thank you for being part of STEAMFest.
