Get ready to step into the past, present, and future as more than 100 participants converge together to showcase an eclectic mix of exhibits, presentations, and workshops, including live music, DJs, the “Next Step Beyond”  fashion show, food trucks, local vendors, and more. This diverse mix of SHTEAM-focused projects—blending Science, History, Technology, Engineering, ART, and Math—promises an immersive experience for attendees of all ages.

At its core, the Science Fair celebrates the Georgetown Steam Plant—The Great Exhibit—as both a relic of Seattle’s industrial past and a launchpad for new ideas. Through creative and adaptive reuse, this retired powerhouse is coming to life—evolving into a SHTEAM education hub, cultural heritage center, and a one-of-a-kind community gathering place for current and future generations to experience.

We can't wait for you to experience the creative power of SHTEAM in action, as the Steam Plant comes to life, buzzing with co-creative chain reactions.

Please see the maps and schedules below to learn more about this year’s programming.

With this year’s theme, “BREAK THE SYSTEM,” we are challenging our community to reimagine outdated industrial, social, and ecological systems that no longer serve us. This year’s theme is more than a concept—it is a call to action.
