T3 Alaska STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) Fests integrate culture, fun social activities, and opportunities for place and problem-based learning. Typically, a STEAM Fest is a 3-day immersive experience where students learn about RPI computers, 3D printing, and communication. T3 Alaska invites community partners to engage with students to ptich real-world problems. STEAM Fests are opportunities that not only get students excited about STEAM careers, but also model best practices for instructors.
