UTPA Welcomes You to the 8th Annual HESTEC Community Day
HESTEC Community day is a major celebration of science, engineering and technology. An estimated 50,000 visitors attended last year for a great day filled with live musical performances, exciting science exhibits and tons of food and fun.

This year we are featuring more than 100 food, arts and crafts, and game booths. HEB will be doing giveaways every 15 minutes of the day. We'll have educational presenters and remember not to miss the live performance by Puerto Rico's own Angel y Khriz!

So bring all the family and enjoy this great free event on the UTPA campus. Don't forget to stop by the HEB Planetarium, it's always free and open to the family.
