AMENIA — Webutuck’s annual STEAM Fair is set for Saturday, March 21.

The event, now in its 12th year, provides Webutuck students from kindergarten to 12th grade an opportunity to showcase their skills in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics by displaying science experiments, collections or discoveries.

Students in fifth grade and up can join in a juried competition at the STEAM fair, with winners receiving a chance to compete in the Dutchess County Science Fair later this spring.

The STEAM Fair is set for 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Eugene Brooks Intermediate School cafeteria on Saturday, March 21. More than 70 students are registered to participate.
