About Stem of Spirits
Since 2017, STEM of Spirits has brought the PAST Foundation community together to celebrate the connection between innovation, education, and craft. What began as a fundraiser has grown into an experience that highlights how STEM is part of everyday life, including the food and beverage industries.
Over the years, we have partnered with hundreds of local makers, brewers, chefs, and distillers to create an event that is hands-on, community-focused, and full of discovery. These lasting partnerships reflect a shared commitment to inspiring learning that connects students with real-world opportunities.
All proceeds support student scholarships for PAST’s Summer Programs — helping more young learners explore, invent, and thrive through hands-on STEM experiences.
