Almost £10,000 expected to be spent by Department of Enterprise
This year's STEM Fest has a budget of £14,000.
The event sees the Island's primary school children being introduced to science, technology, engineering and maths.
It's been postponed though, because staff shortages at Bus Vannin meant they couldn't arrange for all the students to get there.
It's hoped a new date for the first quarter of 2025 will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
The Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston insists the event will be rescheduled, and says some of the cost was covered by sponsorship:
