DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — A free STEM Carnival aimed at introducing students to aerospace engineering is coming to Dothan later this month.
The event is hosted by the RCX Sports Foundation and powered by Boeing. It will take place Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Izell Reese Community Center.
