The Yalla STEAM Festival 2026 will open on Wednesday, November 18, at Sareyyet Ramallah, bringing two days of hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
Organised by the STEAM Palestine Network in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the festival will run from November 18-19 under the theme “Nature as an Open Lab.” Its programme connects science with land, identity and everyday life through experiments and play focused on farming, energy and building.
The festival includes nine tracks, covering making and tinkering, discovery stations, live science, arts, green STEAM, educator workshops, problem-solving challenges, educational games and a children’s corner. Activities are designed for young people aged 10-18, as well as families and schools.
The opening ceremony begins at 10:00 a.m. and will feature welcome remarks from the A.M. Qattan Foundation, Enabel and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, followed by an introduction to the network and its strategic plan, an open discussion and the signing of a memorandum of understanding. Festival stations will open to visitors at 11:15 a.m.
