About Us

In an effort to provide authentic and engaging STEM experiences for elementary students, Shelby County Schools, AMSTI, and the University of Montevallo collaborated to create the E³ experience formerly known as the Science Festival. A committee of science specialists, university professors, and gifted education experts work together to find activities to
​ENGAGE ELEMENTARY ENGINEERS.
