KidsLinked.com's Columbus STEM & Arts Expo

KidsLinked.com is bringing its Columbus STEM & Arts Expo to Polaris Fashion Place on Sunday, November 8, from 12 PM to 5 PM. It's set up as a family resource fair, and the focus is on kids' education, with a wide range of things to see and do under one roof.

The main draw is the mix of STEM and arts. You'll find robotics, math, arts, and technology on display, and there are competitions open to all ages, so kids can actually get involved rather than just watching. It's not just about the technical side, either—the arts get equal billing, and there's a section on financial planning in the mix. Beyond the contests, the day includes crafts, activities, and concessions to keep things moving.

This is part of a larger series of events KidsLinked.com puts on throughout the year, which they call KidsFest. Those are built around freebies, scavenger hunts, games, and activities for children, with vendors on hand offering resources for parents. The STEM & Arts Expo fits right into that, combining the educational side with the kind of hands-on stuff that makes a day out with kids actually work.

It's a free family resource fair, and that extends to the logistics: admission and parking are both free. You'll find it at Polaris Fashion Place, 1500 Polaris Pkwy, Columbus, OH 43240, on Sunday, November 8, from 12 PM to 5 PM.
