Saturdays in February

STEM Saturday is a weekly program that gets visitors to engage in STEM. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Saturdays are designed to provide engaging hands-on activities aimed at inspiring interest in STEM subjects and make learning both hands-on and fun. The program is typically located in Lab A, but may also be in the garden if the weather is nice.

In February, we learn the difference between Climate and Weather.

Each week we will be focusing on a different aspect of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)

  • First Saturday of the month, S for Science. 
  • Second Saturday of the month, T for Technology
  • Third Saturday of the month, E for Engineering
  • Fourth Saturday of the month, M for Maker
  • Any fifth Saturday of a month is, M for Math (Mar. 29, May 31, Aug. 30) 

STEM Saturday is meant for ages 5 and up. Each week the Education Team develops different hands-on activities meant for the entire family. STEM Saturday is designed for ages 5-17, but we encourage adults and children to work together so that they can learn together! STEM Saturday is partially sponsored by Cook Medical and CFC Properties.

Activities in February may include:

  • Alternative Energy Sources
  • Cloud simulation
