St. Clair Community College (SC4) will be holding its SC4 STEM Fest on Saturday, March 11th from 10 am to 2 pm. The event–which is free and open to the public–will be hosted on its Port Huron campus.
STEM Fest aims to spark a sense of wonder among its participants and will feature more than 100 hands-on, interactive science, technology, engineering and mathematics exhibits by SC4, Michigan Technological University’s Mind Trekkers, the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum, and the Leslie Science & Nature Center.
Mind Trekkers is a flagship program of Michigan Technological University’s Center for Educational Outreach. It is powered by undergraduate and graduate student guides with the shared goal of traveling across the country to deliver high-energy, hands-on STEM demonstrations to learners of all ages.
The event’s exhibits will have learners engaging in an array of STEM related activities including virtual reality simulations, virtual anatomy dissection, rocket launches, robotics technology, live animal exhibits and wildlife presentations, experiments involving liquid nitrogen, and more.
“We are thrilled to partner with SC4 to bring the program to Port Huron and amplify the strong STEM ecosystem already present in the region,” said Casey Tefft de Munoz, the executive director of enrollment initiatives at Michigan Technological University.
“The SC4 STEM Fest is just one way that SC4 and Michigan Tech are working together to create educational opportunities for youth to access future college and career pathways.”
