This event has been cancelled due to cloudy weather. A new date will be scheduled for mid-November.  Did you know that this is a great time to see our neighboring planets?  Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and the moon are all visible in the evening sky this month, both by eye and by telescope.  Come to see them from the MSU-St. Andrews STEM center…

Did you know that this is a great time to see our neighboring planets without having to wait until late into the night? The Moon, Mars, and Saturn are all visible in the early evening sky this month, both by eye and by telescope.  Come to see them from MSU St. Andrews in Midland, and take advantage of the earlier darkness that…

This workshop will introduce STEM teachers to a hands-on DNA activity that can be incorporated into their classroom curriculum. The workshop will simulate human forensic testing, and participants will take DNA from a hypothetical crime scene and match it with the DNA of five potential “suspects”. Participants will learn how to use restriction enzymes to cut DNA, and gel electrophoresis to separate…

This workshop will explore applications of 3D printing in different K-12 curricular areas.  The creation of 3D objects with included openings or cavities can assist students in visualization, planning and technological understanding.  Standards-oriented examples to be explored may be taken from: Geometry Chemistry Mathematics Geography Physics Elementary mechanics Prior familiarity with the simple use of 3D printers is assumed, such as gained…
