Sharefest Community Development is an organization dedicated to creating an imprint of lasting positive change in the South Bay and Harbor areas of LA County. They do this by serving residents, facilitating lasting relationships and building communities of care.
Sharefest exists to bring together churches, community-based organizations, businesses, local government and residents to meet needs, foster hope and create unity within the greater Los Angeles area.
STEAM Carnival is inspiring the next generation of doers, dreamers, innovators and inventors. We’re showing kids of all ages what it means to get hands on, play and have fun with the coolest gadgets, gizmos and games that science, art and technology have to offer. STEAM Carnival is a playground for those who want to experiment, explore and engage with the world around them, while firing some lasers and programming a robot or two along the way.
