The St. Petersburg Science Festival is an annual regional celebration where families and the public can explore the wonders of hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM).
The St. Pete Science Festival will be live in 2023. This annual event will be returning to the USF St. Petersburg campus, along with Florida Fish and Wildlife's MarineQuest on February 17 and 18, 2023. Exhibitor registration is now open. School group registration is coming soon. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Our brainstorming kept coming back to the concept that ideas are the beginning - they create the "spark" that fuels innovation.
Congratulations to Sarah Gilbert, Chief Operating Officer of Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital for being named a 2024 BusinessWoman of the Year honoree. We are also thrilled that Sarah has recently joined the Board of Directors for the Innovation District.
