ARLINGTON, Va. – Science and technology enthusiasts were treated to a day of educational fun at the Navy League STEM Expo, held Sunday, Aug. 1, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

The free event gave local students the opportunity to engage and be inspired by all things STEM—or science, technology, engineering and math. It also enabled them to learn about a deadline extension and potential prizes for the Naval Horizons student essay contest—organized by the Department of the Navy’s (DoN) Naval STEM Coordination Office, located at the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
