Long Island LEADS to Host 4th Annual 'SLIME'-Students of Long Island Maker/ STEAM Expo

It’s spring, and it’s time for our 4th annual SLIME – Students of Long Island Maker/STEAM Expo. SLIME is the only conference in the NY area for the entire community to celebrate innovation and creativity in education. In just 3 years our event has doubled in size, and this year we expect 1,000 participants to join us on June 16th at SUNY Stony Brook including students, educators, libraries, museums, nonprofit organizations, educational companies, civic associations, artisans, entrepreneurs, government entities, and other community members.

Long Island LEADS (the producer of SLIME) is a nonprofit organization that promotes STEAM education, the maker movement, and hands-on learning for all students. Long Island LEADS is a founding member of the Nation of Makers. We have participated in the National Maker Faire in Washington, D.C., the World Maker Faire at the New York Hall of Science, and the Barnes & Noble Mini Maker Faire. Schools, libraries, museums, civic associations, nonprofit organizations, and government entities are invited to present at SLIME.
