Coming Soon: Iroquois Family STEM Night

Submitted by Caley and Aurelia, Guest Bloggers from the Iroquois Girls' STEM Leadership Group

On Tuesday, April 9th, 2019, the Girls’ STEM Leadership Group is presenting the Iroquois Family STEM Night from 6:00 pm to 8:00pm, which is open to all Iroquois K-12 students and their families. This is the first ever district-wide Family STEM Night, and we would be grateful if you would come enjoy our STEM activities with us.  This event is made possible through a generous grant provided by The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation.

  
We are so glad to have the Buffalo Museum of Science coming to our event. They will be bringing hands-on activities for everyone to enjoy. There will be live insects, experiments involving circuitry and electricity, and activities regarding Native American culture.

In addition to those activities, there will also be Family Feud Trivia, slime making, a robotics demonstration from the Nichols School, straw rocket launcher contests, flying drones, duct tape crafts, DIY “math” bath bombs, forensics fun, and robot finch coding--all run by the Girls STEM Leadership group. The event will also feature magic tricks, robot making, and coloring. There will also be a Pizza Amore food truck available to purchase food from.

There will be free gifts given to the first 100 families in attendance. The Girls’ STEM Leadership Group hopes you can join us for this fun event in the Iroquois Middle School Building!

We're hoping that Glow in the Dark Slime will be a huge hit!
