The expo will have 22 educational booths for students to look at, learn from and experience. Many different members of the community, like Edible San Marcos, will be there to show science ideas and talk to the students about the various careers they could choose in science.

The purpose of the expo is illustrate how rewarding and fun scientific knowledge can be and to unite the community and the school with that goal.
