What is the BIEA STEM Showcase Event?
We aim to host one showcase of all BIEA STEM projects of the year. It's a one-day event where students, teachers, and parents gather to show the public their project ideas. For the City Sustainability Showcase, we had 30 teams from 10 countries and it was a great experience for everyone!
