The River City Science Academy (RCSA) will hold its Annual Florida STEM & Health Expo on Saturday, Feb. 9. The expos will take place at the RCSA’s Main Campus, located at 7605 Beach Blvd. in Jacksonville.

RCSA is a tuition-free, public charter school with STEM-focused curriculum. They have become well-known in Duval county as the first charter school in the county to receive an A-grade and high-performing status from the Florida Department of Education. Most recently, their Middle-High School Science Olympiad team won the State Science Olympiad Championship in Spring of 2018. They now have four locations across the county and serve grades K – 12.

The Florida STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) & Health Expo has been a great event for the Jacksonville community since its founding. The expo serves as an alternative to the typical county fair. It allows RCSA students to get a chance to showcase their STEM work in a fun and unique way, with learning opportunities for the entire family. RCSA’s mission for the expo is to expose Florida’s citizens to the exciting and engaging world of STEM and health to ignite their interests and motivation for these disciplines.

This free, one-day event features exciting science shows, STEM educators and scientists, robots, community health supporters, the fire and police department, and more! Over 100 tables will be set up with exciting STEM projects and hands-on activities. The community will be able to visit with and learn about many businesses and organizations in Florida, including health providers, colleges and universities, non-profit organizations, and more.
