The Acton-Boxborough Parent Involvement Project is hosting a STEM science fair.

"Join us for Discover STEM—a showcase of interactive ScienceTechnologyEngineering, and Math activities. Discover STEM is geared for students in grades 7 through 12 plus adults."

WWTA will host an exhibit called "Exploring Astronomy with the WorldWide Telescope"

WorldWide Telescope (WWT) is a stunningly beautiful and freely available data visualization environment developed by Microsoft Research.  WWT makes the world’s store of astronomical imagery available to anyone, putting the images in context in a “night sky” view.  We will set up laptops so visitors can experience WWT hands-on with our guidance.  Families will learn how to download WWT and use it to continue learning at home; teachers will discover resources for teaching astronomy in their classrooms.
