    logo_yavapaicollegeClarkdale AZ (February 2, 2017) – Yavapai College is among the community partners presenting the fourth-annual Verde Valley SCITECH Festival Feb. 23 through March 3 and is hosting a festival signature event — the Verde Valley SCITECH EXPO — at the YC Clarkdale campus on Friday, March 3.

    The three-hour expo opens at 5 p.m. and features area businesses, organizations and the YC Film & Media Arts and Video Game Development programs showcasing the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (S-T-E-A-M) aspects of their operations. The YC Kiln Yard Café will be open from 5 to 7 p.m. during the expo so attendees may enjoy dinner while they explore.

    Along with the expo, Yavapai College is hosting two SCITECH Festival additions this year: a free film screening and a free concert, both geared to bring the community together for discovery and inspiration. The March 1 screening of “Spare Parts” about an underdog team of robot builders will be followed by a Q&A session with Film & Media Arts faculty member Dave Lehleitner who was a production assistant for the film. The film presentation starts at 5:30 p.m. in the community room in Building M at the Clarkdale campus. The March 2 concert featuring popular guitarist Anthony Mazzella starts at 5 p.m. and also will be in Building M at the Clarkdale campus. Yavapai College Southwest Wine Center student-produced wines and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase early in the concert.

    “Yavapai College is pleased to be a strong partner in this family-oriented festival. Our goal is to spark interest in scientific and artistic study in people of all ages and inspire the next generation of S-T-E-A-M enthusiasts,” said Dr. James Perey, YC executive dean and campus executive officer, Verde Valley.

    Along with myriad activities and events, the 2017 festival will feature a passport program. Festival-goers who earn at least six punches on their passports are eligible for prizes, including one of 10 Samsung Galaxy S2 tablets that will be given away to players under 21. Gift certificates are up for grabs for passport players older than 21.

    Verde Valley SCITECH Festival partners are adding activities and events as the festival approaches. Festival-goers are encouraged to check the festival schedule, available at www.VVSCITECH.org.  

    Anyone interested in getting involved with the festival is welcome to contact Christine E. Griffin, at (928) 592-2210.
