Princeton Center for Complex Materials (PCCM) is a National Science Foundation-supported Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. The educational outreach team conducts many educational outreach programs. Since 2004, one of our largest k-12 education programs has been the Science and Engineering Expo at Princeton University (SEE Princeton) for middle school students in partnership with other outreach programs at Princeton University. The goals of the program are to allow hundreds of Princeton University scientists and engineers the opportunity to share their enthusiasm for science with middle school students, to instill excitement for science and engineering in the students, to expose the students to learning opportunities in science and engineering, and to introduce them to the field of materials science. This paper provides a brief guide to developing and conducting a science and engineering expo based on a successful model.
