STEMFEST RECAP & THANKS

Millburn Ed Foundation's first STEMFest event received amazing support from the community in its inaugural year!  With over 700 registrants participating, the Millburn community came together to celebrate and support STEM education by competing in Chess, Math, Coding and Environmental challenges, and by proudly decorating the town with STEMFest signs. We can't wait until next year!
