STEAM Community Workshop Opportunity!
Josh Kumin is a STEM education outreach consultant working with Metropolitan State University of Denver. He and his team are collaborating with community groups in the NE area of Denver to create opportunities for students to explore STEM career pathways.
As a part of his grassroots initiative, they will be running a free STEM event at the Montbello Recreation Center, on Saturday, October 6, from 12:30-3:30pm. This event will bring together students, parents, teachers and organizations in an effort to inspire students and spark conversations around STEM careers.
At the event, PreK-12 grade students and parents will have the opportunity to walk around and participate in a variety of fun STEM activities! Families can look forward to:
- Fun activities for kids of all ages
- Prize drawing for a robot and other items!
- Light refreshments
- Parent/teacher workshops
From 1:30-3:00pm, they will be running workshops for parents and teachers.
