The next generation of STEM professionals had a chance to learn and engage with an array of hands-on science, technology, engineering and mathematics activities Saturday at Morgan State University’s STEM Expo.
Students of all ages used forensic science to analyze a crime scene, coded a robot to navigate a maze, explored virtual reality, examined aquatic life, and so much more.
