Lights On Afterschool

Launched in October 2000, Lights On Afterschool is the only nationwide event celebrating afterschool programs and their important role in the lives of children, families and communities. The effort has become a hallmark of the afterschool movement and generates media coverage across the country each year.

For Lights On Afterschool 2024, the SC Afterschool Alliance will host the second annual STEM Extravaganza, a hands-on, interactive STEM engaged event for Kindergarten-12th grade students. This year’s event will be held at the minor league baseball field, Segra Park (1640 Freed St.), in Columbia, South Carolina.  Up to 1,500 students across the state from kindergarten through 12th grade are expected to attend. 

If you are interested in providing interactive STEM activities, register as an exhibitor here.

Registration for groups, program providers and other attendees will open Sept. 13, 2024.
