According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields are expected to add 2.7 million new jobs by 2018, yet minorities and women are vastly underrepresented in those fields. The research shows that the challenges for minority students in STEM have more to do with access and opportunity than with choice.

Super Saturday is an annual expo. Designed for New York City youth and their families, the event features hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities and demonstrations. In the 50,000 square foot Harlem Armory, public school students in Pre-K to Grade 12 that attend Harlem’s Community School District 5 exhibit their own STEM projects, alongside activity booths set up by museums, science & technology centers, colleges, non-profits, companies, government agencies, and more. Since the first Super Saturday in 2008 in a Harlem school cafeteria, attendance has grown from 200 to 1,500 youth, parents, community leaders and STEM professionals.

Super Saturday is presented by Manhattan’s Community School District 5.
