Students and families, join us on Saturday October 14, 2023, from 11am to 3pm for our Afrofuturism STEAM Day. For centuries African Americans have re-imagined the futures and possibilities of black people across the globe through the dynamic lens of Afrofuturism. Coined in 1993, Afrofuturism envisions the future of Black life, liberated from societal oppression and earthly-bound constraints. During the STEAM Day event, we will envision the future while peering through the lenses of space exploration, human health, and technology.

Activities include:
• Hands on STEAM activities 
• Presentations by STEAM professionals 
• Draw your own superhero workshops
• And More!

ATTENTION: 
Smithsonian will be filming, photographing, or otherwise recording this event. By your presence, you consent to the use of your image and statements in connection with Smithsonian activities in any media.

The event is free, but reserve your tickets here!
