Southwestern Oregon Community College invites 5th to 12th grade students to join us for "STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) CLUB for Girls" on Tuesday, January 28, 2025. This science-immersion event will be from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the College’s new health and science building, Umpqua Hall, on the Coos Campus, 1988 Newmark Ave., Coos Bay. This is a FREE program.Students will engage with professors in hands-on activities in Physics & Engineering, Chemistry, Geology, Biology, Art, and more. This includes working alongside the college’s SPEAR Student Researchers, who are involved in various STEAM projects. This event will help teach the girls about how all the sciences work together to complete a mission to send astronauts to space! There also will be an opportunity to experience a show in the new Discovery Dome Planetarium. This digital theater space immerses students in a show that takes them on an adventure.
This new program focuses on supporting and encouraging girls through their STEAM educational journey. We will also share books, podcasts, and other helpful resources focused on girls in science. Girls who participate in this program will be able to stay connected online where we will continue to mentor and share quarterly news and activities with them. STEAM education projects help students visualize career pathways in science, technology, engineering, and math. The “A” adds in the arts, such as humanities, dance, drama, visual arts, and design. When people learn in all these areas together, they gain soft skills that can help grow ability in out-of-the-box thinking and collaboration.
Register soon as spots are limited. For more information on this event, registration, and other upcoming events, contact Krystal Hopper Meyers, STEAM Pathways Assistant, at 541-888-7416, or [email protected]
