UPDATE: Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026
Due to anticipated winter weather, the 2026 STEM Expo for Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026 has been postponed to Feb. 14, 2026.
The Dallas ISD STEM Expo returns from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, at the Automobile Building at Fair Park.
The expo will feature interactive exhibits including aircraft-technology demonstrations, engineering-design challenges, virtual-reality experiences, and hands-on science activities for students of all grade levels.
In addition to hands-on STEM experiences, the expo will also offer resources focused on family wellness. Parkland Health will provide no-cost health screenings for Dallas County residents, aimed primarily at students’ parents and guardians.
Available screenings include blood pressure, diabetes, and financial screenings, each accompanied by a brief consultation. Families only need to provide their name, address, and phone number so Parkland staff can determine whether they are already registered in the system. Those who are not registered will be documented only as a screening encounter, unless they choose to pursue follow-up care at a Parkland clinic.
The event brings together district departments and campuses, as well as industry and academic partners, to showcase real-world opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Launched in 2014, the STEM Expo began with about 500 participants and has since grown into a districtwide celebration of student creativity and potential. The event is the largest STEM Expo in Texas.
The largest STEM Expo in Texas, the event aims to spark curiosity in STEM subjects while introducing students to potential career pathways. Registration and additional information are available on the district’s website.
