Spring STEAM Events in Charlotte Your Kids Will Love (2026)
Spring is one of the best times of year to get out and explore (minus the pollen), and if you’re looking for fun, educational activities, Charlotte has a lot of incredible STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) events coming up.
From large-scale science festivals to hands-on exhibits, library events, and weekend celebrations, kids (and adults) of all ages get the chance to see science and technology brought to life.
For homeschool families, this season is especially full of opportunities to experiment, build, explore, and learn outside of your normal routine. Many of these events make excellent field trips, offering exposure to topics like robotics, environmental science, medicine, engineering, and more! Even better, most are flexible and low-pressure, meaning you can drop in and explore at your own pace.
Experience STEAM Festivals & Expos, FREE Science Center Events, Wildlife & Nature Experiences, Engineering & Robotics Events, and more! Here are just a few of the STEAM events you’ll find around Charlotte this spring:
