ASC’S SIGNATURE EVENT: STEAM-CON

Saturday, March 14th 2026: STEAMPUNK ISLAND

Join us for the first annual STEAM-CON, a community festival celebrating the arts & sciences surrounding us on the island of Hawai’i.

Inspired by Comic-Con, this event invites all ages to explore the many applications of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) that are happening all around us. Through hands-on exhibits, performances, presentations, booths, and interactive experiences, we will gather inspiration from the brilliance of our community members.
