In fall 2016 we offered a program of  ‘STEM Adventures’ on Saturdays at the Museum of International Cultures. We do not have any future sessions scheduled, but if you are interested in having a session for your group, contact Penny Ball at penny@acm.org or 972-709-1957.

Each 3-hour program has 2 hands-on workshops. Each of the 2 workshop rooms can seat 12 students; thus we can host groups of 24 or fewer people. Our current workshop topics are “Electronics Magic” and “Designing for Flight”.  The subject level is for students of grades 6,7,8 and parents are invited to attend also. We may have some other topics available.

See the STEM Adventures sub-page for photos and more information about the workshop topics.

See the STEM resources page for pdf files and links to some useful websites related to STEM  opportunities.

On Saturday February 25, 2017 we  hosted a special program for Engineers Week  at the  Museum of International Cultures. Activities included:
11:00 a.m. “Sustainability and Engineering for the Future” – talk by Joyce Stubblefield, a graduate of SMU Department of Engineering with a masters degree in Sustainable Development.
12:00 to 3:30  Exhibit in front lobby. Hands-on project in conference room  to test your engineering construction skills; self directed, about 20 minutes duration.
12:30 or 2:30  Hands-on 90-minute workshop “Introduction to Electronics” for anyone age 12 or older (parents, boys & girls); fee of $10 per person.

For Engineers Week in February 2018 we had a special exhibit and a Saturday hands-on workshop. A similar program is likely for February 2019.
