Helping Organize STEM Night at My High School

A reflection on volunteering to help plan and host our school’s STEM Night for incoming students and families.

This spring, I joined a group of students organizing our school’s annual STEM Night. I helped plan the event schedule, set up the chemistry demonstration table, and worked with younger students explaining basic experiments. It was rewarding to see how curious families were—and it reminded me how important it is to make science accessible.

This experience also helped me practice leadership, public speaking, and improvising when things didn’t go as planned.
