LANSING, Mich. — Middle- and high school-aged students are invited to explore potential college majors with hands-on activities during the free Big STEAM event at Lansing Community College (LCC). The event will take place Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on LCC’s Downtown Campus.
Designed for students in grades 7–12, Big STEAM offers hands-on activities that introduce participants to programs in science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics (STEAM). Attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with educators who understand degree programs and career opportunities in STEAM-related fields. Prizes will be awarded throughout the event.
The Big STEAM event is hosted by LCC’s Arts and Sciences Division and marks the inaugural STEAM-focused experience for older students. The division also hosts STEAMfest each November for elementary-aged children.
“We have hosted STEAMfest for elementary school children for many years,” said Kirsten Wright, professor, program advisor and outreach coordinator. “I am excited to now welcome older students who can really benefit from a deeper understanding of scientific process, plus the academic and career pathways available to them — and to do it in such a fun way.”
Registration is free and available at lcc.edu/bigsteam.
