Science-art interactions at The USA Science and Engineering Festival

The USA Science & Engineering Festival is the world?s largest event of its kind. Their mission is to promote STEM education, initiatives and workforce development to a K-12 audience. They reach an audience of over 250,000 students, educators and parents attending our 3 day festival in Washington DC.
Their mission includes expanding the overall knowledge base of STEM education. To that end, they have a great desire to highlight examples of the intersection of Art+Science+Education in the 2014 festival. They are aggressively seeking like-minded companies and organizations that can help them to showcase such cross-disciplinary applications. Their goal is to include examples of collaborative learning, research, and creative work that engages architecture, industrial design, engineering, digital arts, gaming, music, film, DIY/Makers, and performance. Broadly, they seek inspiring content that can tell the story of the intersection of art and science.
In order to create this pavilion to champion cross-disciplinary excellence, they are seeking commitments to partner with them to collectively fund tables, exhibits, and performance space.
They are seeking supporters in two categories, exhibitors and sponsors. In order to create a worthwhile space they need to fill at least 20 10x10 exhibit spaces.

Exhibitor info:
? Cost ? None-profit rate = $1,000 and for-profit rate = $1,500
? Each 10x10 space comes complete with one table, two chairs, pipe/drape and one 5 amp circuit.
? Any single organization can purchase no more than two booth spaces at this price. If additional space is required than that organization would increase to a sponsor at levels starting at $2,500.
Sponsor info:
? Title sponsor of the entire pavilion - $150,000
? Presented/host sponsorships - $25,000+
