Next gen stem fest review

NextGen STEMFest: Innovate and Create

On May 10th, 2025 at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation, we held our NextGen STEMFest: Innovate and Create festival event.

Attendees heard from National Science Foundation (NSF) funded youth-led workshops on automatic farming robots (from both Massachusetts and Louisiana!), 3D printing, and more…. and learned about our absolutely fantastic exhibitors/partners who shared their excitement, joy, and innovative work in STEM!

The Charles River Collaboratory appreciates and expresses our gratitude to all the exhibitors and partners who helped make this amazing event possible.

Previous public workshops

Public Workshops

In the past year, the Charles River Collaboratory has held multiple successful workshops, including one’s for 3D printing, laser engraving on wood and glass, and more!

During these workshops, High School Leaders got the opportunity to show members of the public how to design and create different products through guided instruction and assistance of collaboratory machines.
