The SFPS Innovation Expo, a vibrant celebration of creativity, technology, and education, will be held on April 22nd from 5 to 7 p.m. at Milagro Middle School, 1720 Llano Drive. This free, family-friendly event invites the entire Santa Fe community to experience firsthand how students and educators are embracing innovation in the classroom and beyond. 

Now in its eighth year, the Expo showcases the many ways Santa Fe students and educators are leveraging technology to amplify student voices, build critical thinking skills, and enhance future-ready learning. Students, teachers, and district staff will share projects, and community organizations will highlight programs and provide interactive exhibits.

Students and staff are presented with the question: What does innovation mean to you? This includes engaging and authentic ways to learn, create, and help others. Students will showcase projects and activities demonstrating how they leverage digital tools, problem-solving, and ingenuity to create impact. Make sure to stop by the student film screening in the cafeteria!

Community partners like STEMarts, Make Santa Fe, Santa Fe Public Library, and the Lensic will be there too, offering fun things to try and learn about. 

“The Innovation Expo uplifts collaboration and possibility,” said Katy Grunewald, SFPS Innovation Coordinator. “It’s an opportunity for SFPS schools, district departments, and community partners to explore ideas, learn together, and connect with the community."
