Take a virtual field trip with VReedom Ventures! Put on a VR headset and get ready for an immersive experience. VR is a powerful tool for educators of all stripes. Find out how this burgeoning technology has the power to transform educational experiences and bring abstract concepts to life.

You’ll explore anatomy, paleontology, history and more, without leaving the STEM Building! Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about how virtual worlds are built as you take a trip using this cutting-edge resource.

Be a DIY Hero and help the environment! Learn how to fix and mend broken items with the help of the Utah Recycling Alliance! You’ll be paired with a coach who can help you diagnose, fix or just get to know your belongings a little better. All broken items must be carried into the clinic and the DIY Festival by the participant (please, no large items!). We will not be able to watch items while you are on Festival grounds. If you bring an item to repair, make sure it is small enough for you to carry at the DIY Festival!

Fix-It Clinics are designed to empower participants to become better stewards of their material belongings. Participants bring in a broken item that they would like to learn how to repair and get to work side-by-side with an experienced Repair Coach. Tools will be provided for use.

Participants will be helped in order of when they arrive and based on when the best suited coach is available. Participants of all ages are invited! However, all youth under age 12 must be accompanied by legal guardian/parent.

Excited about atoms? Serious about STEM? Wild for VR? Come learn how to make a zine to share your love of science! Zines are an accessible, inexpensive, creative, and fun form of self-publishing, and can be made by all ages. During this workshop, participants will create their very own science mini-zine to take and share. These skills are easily adaptable for all age groups and skill levels, making zines ideal for classrooms, community groups, non-profits, or just for fun. Zines are powerful tools giving people the opportunity to express themselves and tell their stories!
