It is with great sorrow that we share the passing of Dr. Perry Yaney. Perry was a founder of TestFest and committed over 20 years to making TechFest an event for our community of learners. Perry's dedication, commitment and service to our community in the field of STEM has inspired tens of thousands of students and families to fall in love with STEM. We will miss your humor, leadership and, most of all, your friendship.

📍 Did you know? TechFest Dayton has been sparking curiosity and STEM excitement since **2003**! That’s over two decades of inspiring future scientists, engineers, and innovators.

📅 Mark your calendars for February 14-15, 2026 – the fun is just around the corner!

What an amazing event! Our exhibitors make this event possible!!

TechFest was a blast! We had an incredible turnout, and our team had a fantastic time volunteering! Our STARBASE Wright-Patt booth was buzzing with excitement as participants explored Sphero Indi robots and got hands-on with circuit board activities. Meanwhile, our Outreach Office took a deep dive into forensic science, where visitors got to try their hand at dactyloscopy (that’s fingerprinting, for all the detective fans out there! 🕵️‍♂️). They even took home their own fingerprints—plus a cool DIY trick to lift prints using graphite and tape! A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booths! Until next time, keep exploring, experimenting, and having fun with STEM! #TechFest2025 #STEMeducation #ForensicFun #HandsOnLearning

We are a go from NOON to 5pm! TechFest 2025! day two is about to happen!
