Nevada County Superintendent of Schools Office is excited to invite Nevada County students to share their learning and compete in our STEAM 2022 countywide showcase and competition.

This year, students are invited to compete in three competitions, the Scientific Inquiry Competition, STEAM Arts Showcase, and TechTest Jr. Math Competition.

The purpose of the Nevada County STEAM Expo is…

  • To stimulate an active interest in science, technology, engineering, art, and math by engaging in original investigations, experiences, and demonstrations.
  • To foster school & community cooperation in developing the STEAM potential of Nevada County students that will lead to future careers in these fields.
  • To support the California State Standards.

All Nevada County schools are invited to submit projects and compete through these STEAM challenges:
