About this Event

Dear Parents and Teachers,

Guess what!?! It’s time to sign up for October Science Saturday.

This free, engaging, hands-on STEM event takes place on October 4 at IHMC, at 15 SE Osceola Avenue. Students in grades 3 thorugh 7 are invited. Dr. Ian Perera is back with Computer Game Design! Ian does research in human-machine dialogue analysis. As an undergraduate student he studied computer game design, focussing on both art and computer graphics. We will learn from Ian how to program a computer game using the SCRATCH programming language.

Please register students in grades 3 and 4 at 9 am and students in grades 5, 6, and 7 at 11 am. Both sessions will be age appropriate, so please be sure to register for the correct time. Students in grade 7 will be provided with additional challenges not open to grades 5 and 6 and are encouraged to request seating at our 7th-graders-only table.

The generosity of the season sponsors, Lockheed Martin, the Florida Blue Foundation, and Eleanor and Gary Simons, helps IHMC to offer Science Saturdays free of charge for all attendees.

If there are no tickets left, please click on JOIN WAITLIST and follow the instructions. It’s worthwhile to join the list, as we usually get a number of cancellations before each event. If you don’t get a ticket after joining the list, you can request priority registration for the next event. Any questions? Call our Ocala front desk at 850-202-4415. (Note - This is a new number.)

Science and STEM are so fun! We hope you’ll join us.

Best wishes,

Ursula M. Schwuttke
