COLUMBIA, S.C., Aug. 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT:
This groundbreaking event brings free STEM
learning to Columbia! This big,
tradeshow-like festival will feature more than 60 stations where
kids and their parents engage in unique and fun activities like
operating a robot, building motorized model cars and flying drones,
watching live animal dissections, riding a hovercraft, and much
more. These activities are designed to be both educational and
entertaining, providing a unique learning experience for students
and parents. Students, grades Kâ12, learn and have fun. They
work with college volunteers and STEM professionals. Our children
need role models - scientists, doctors, and engineers â who look
like them and come from their neighborhoods and communities.
Parents register your kid's grades K-12
at www.clemson.edu/stem-sc
College students are needed from 7:45 AM to
1 PM to assist in managing the stations, interact with
students, and inspire the next generation of STEM achievers.
Undergraduate volunteers receive a $50 stipend. COLLEGE VOLUNTEERS
