WHAT:

Created by STEM Global Action (SGA), STEM SATURDAY events feature in-person, community-based opportunities for students and parents to learn STEM together. Students participate in engaging, hands-on, inquiry-based activities where they can ask questions, conduct experiments, design and build solutions, and engage in three-dimensional learning at community sites. WE BRING STEM TO COMMUNITIES! Each session focuses on specific STEM-related themes. This event will provide comprehensive information about the human lungs and respiratory system.  The participants will build and test mechanical lungs!  And participants will explore actual sheep lungs!  Our children will have opportunities to work with real-world STEM professionals and college volunteers who guide participants through the activities. Each child will receive a STEM kit that enhances the instruction. The event is presented by SGA's STEM Mobile initiative and supported by the City of Mobile, AL, Parks and Recreation. A federal award from the U.S. Department of the Treasury also sponsors this initiative. Together, we aim to inspire future innovators through engaging STEM experiences. Don't miss out on this educational and fun-filled day!
