Congratulations to this year’s National STEM Finalists from all across the United States. The National STEM Festival celebrates the exceptional talents of our nation’s youth and the innovative businesses driving progress, all year round. The Festival’s mission is to guide bright minds toward careers in STEM and to tackle the world’s most pressing challenges. This year’s Festival was hosted by EXPLR and was held from March 19 – 21 in DC.
Ani Nishanian from Rocky Run Middle School, along with Lynda Pistun and Ashrita Gandhari from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, were named 2025 National STEM Champions, an honor given to only about 100 students nationwide. This achievement highlights their incredible innovation and dedication to STEM education. These students’ accomplishments showcase the strength of STEM education in our district and the remarkable talent fostered in our schools.
Attendees also participated in mentor sessions, engaged in hands-on STEM activities, explored a public expo, and benefited from networking opportunities, among other exciting offerings. For more information, please visit the Festival’s overview website
