Students in the fifth and sixth grades from both Lakota and Princeton School Districts are invited to participate in a FREE program conducted by iSPACE and made available in part by a grant from Cincinnati Bell.
When speaking with college students (and/or graduates of a technical degree) about why they entered a particular field of study, it is not uncommon to hear of a childhood experience or memory that set them off down a particular path of discovery. Quite simply, the aim of this project is to create and/or reinforce this early experience by “getting dirty” in a hands-on workshop with professionals.
This program is about infusing students with enthusiasm, excitement (fun if you will), while challenging them to see themselves as a scientist, engineer or bio-technician and perhaps change their attitudes about STEM. iSPACE hopes to raise questions rather than answer them. With this spark, it is our belief that students will continue down a STEM pathway as they continue down the road to discovery.
The objective of this project is to create awareness of and interest in STEM careers through engaging activities that involve students, parents/guardians and educators.
Students will take on the role of a dentist, engineer, surgeon or other type of STEM professional each of four Saturday mornings. There will be a parent/student informational meeting on February 11 and the student career exploration sessions will be held February 25, March 3, March 24 and March 31.
Participants must register using the passcode available from your school/teachers. To Register: A Day in the Life: Stepping into a STEM Career Registration
