Mission and Goals
The mission of the New Hampshire TechFest is to interest and excite middle and high school-age students from throughout the New England area about the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) through hands-on exhibits and entertaining presentations.
The STEM areas of study are the foundations of the knowledge and technology that is employed every day in the development of products and processes that make our world a safer, more productive, and enjoyable place to live. This is where the jobs are now, and will be in the future. One goal is to demonstrate the immediate and future relevance of the STEM fields to students who would not necessarily already be planning to enter them through their study or work. Our other goal is to demonstrate just how interesting and fun studying and working with technology can be!
We will achieve these goals through the annual production of an extravaganza of enlightening science and technology demonstrations, hands-on activities, and overall entertaining experiences - the New Hampshire TechFest. We will attract leading edge technologists, corporations, educational institutions, and professional societies by inviting them to showcase and share their work with an audience of young, eager minds and potentially, future colleagues and employees. We will attract our target student audience by promising an unparalleled variety and selection of science and technology "experiences", all under one roof!
