The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, along with our partners, Cox Communications and the Arizona SciTech Institute, presents Connect2STEM
The University of Arizona and COX Communications have partnered to bring science and hands-on learning to downtown Phoenix just in time for the Super Bowl. Connect2STEM is the official kickoff for the 2017 Arizona SciTech Festival, a statewide celebration of science, technology, engineering and math held annually in February and March. STEM enthusiasts will learn about the science of creating a video game, see real space equipment and touch synthetic cadavers. Food Trucks will be available on-site.
• Bioscience Zone: Touch, feel and discover the human body like never before. See the biomechanics of a life sized synthetic cadaver that can talk, breathe, bleed and sweat.
• Tackle the Brain Challenge Expo - featuring a vision distorter, eye-hand coordination drills and the Banner Concussion Center. Free giveaways at the Banner Children’s Go Kids program booth focused on health, fitness and nutrition.
• Nature Zone: Get down and dirty with master gardeners and splash around in the Wildcat Water Lab.
• Outer Space/Technology Zone: Calling all amateur astronomers! Learn about OSRIS-Rex, a mission to bring pieces of the asteroid “Bennu” back to earth.
• COX Gig Zone: Cox Communications is providing a free WIFI hotspot for all guests. Come enjoy gaming stations, coloring contests and giveaways. Learn about the science of GIGABLAST services getting to your home. Be on the lookout for a special appearance by Digeez!
• Wildcat Spirit Zone: Bear Down! Take a picture in the photo booth, meet Wilbur the Wildcat, mingle with alumni and bounce around on the UA inflatable. Judy Bernas, associate vice president of university relations at UA in Phoenix, said Connect2STEM will inspire young people to learn more about science careers.
“We hope to bring excitement from across the country to downtown Phoenix,” she said. “Connect2STEM will encouragement enthusiasm in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.”
Susan Anable, Vice President of Public Affairs for Cox Communications, couldn’t agree more.
“With downtown Phoenix as center stage for the Super Bowl, Connect2STEM is a tremendous opportunity to shine a spot light on all of the great things happening to advance STEM visibility. Connect2STEM will add a fun and learning opportunity for valley residents and visitors alike.”
“We think this is a great time to bring people to downtown Phoenix and teach them all there is to learn about STEM,” Bernas said. Just 2 Blocks Away From Football Activities
The Connect2STEM event is just two blocks away from the Verizon Super Bowl Central (VSBC) that will take over and transform Downtown Phoenix into the epicenter of Super Bowl activities with 1 million visitors expected to attend. The free, family-friendly, football-themed outdoor fan campus will be the hub of fan, sponsor, media and NFL activities for the week leading up to Super Bowl XLIX.

Today's a special day to celebrate, happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! For some University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers and students, every day is the day of women and girls in science through their participation in the KEYS Research Internship and other campus outreach programs. Engaging girls in science, engineering, technology and math when they are young and encouraging them as they hit middle and high school is a big step toward keeping the women-in-STEM pipeline flowing.
