Presenting their knowledge and skills, students of all ages will display their abilities in computer science, engineering and more at the first-ever Santa Clarita Valley STEM Student Showcase on Tuesday.

Guests will be able to participate in hands-on STEM seminars and interact with students, ranging from elementary school to college level, as well as observe their 21st century skills.

“It really has been very exciting,” said Emblem Academy Principal Jon Baker, of coordinating the event. “I don’t know if anything like this has ever been done before — where there is a real connection between elementary school students, junior high students, high school students and  college students all under the same roof.”

Officials have slowly been able to integrate a kindergarten-through-college STEM program, which offers students access to engage in learning computer networking, engineering, computer science and advanced technologies/manufacturing.

Business leaders in the community will be able to interact with these students at the event before touring the Emblem Academy campus and participate in hands-on STEM seminars, or “STEMinars.”

Some of the STEMinars taught to Emblem students cover an assortment of topics, such as nutrition, marine biology, coding and more, according to Baker.

“I think it’s going to be very interesting to see that progression from elementary school all the way to college,” Baker said. “And, in turn, (will allow) the business community to see how we’re preparing the students for college and career readiness.”

The showcase is set to include a lunch and feature Maria Blue, a teacher and member of the California Science Framework and Evaluation Criteria Committee, as the event’s keynote speaker.

Blue will be there to discuss the utilization of the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and how they positively affect and prepare students for studying and working in STEM fields.

The Students STEM Showcase is set to be held on Tuesday, March 7 at 12:30 p.m. at Emblem Academy, located at 22635 Espuella Drive in Saugus.
