OIC of America invites K-8 students and their families to Philadelphia’s first ever STEM Saturday on Saturday, November 16, from 11 am to 1:30 pm, at Eric W. “Hank” Gathers, Jr. Recreation Center
2501-19 W Diamond St., Philadelphia, PA 19121. Participation is free.
Elementary and middle school students will have opportunities to connect to knowledge and skills in science, technology, engineering and math through interactive, hands-on activities. Studies have shown that fun and interactive learning is a proven way to get young people excited about STEM courses and careers. They will:
- Learn Basic Engineering Concepts: Students will explore key engineering ideas such as building and design through hands-on activities.
- Build Problem-Solving Skills: Students will use basic problem-solving skills to solve challenges, using critical thinking to create structures or solutions.
- Encourage Creativity: Students will use their imagination to design and build projects, learning through experimentation and fun.
We’re also seeking volunteers! Sign up here to help students learn the skills that will prepare them for the jobs of the future.
