What is ESI?
Expo-Sciences are non-competitive multicultural exhibitions that showcase STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) projects developed by children and youth from around the world, as well as interactive exhibits by STEAM-related institutions.
The Expo-Sciences programme includes cultural and scientific visits, leisure activities, workshops, and conferences. National youth STEAM programme leaders meet to share and discuss best practices in STEAM promotion and education.
