On
Saturday, March 1 thirty Washington students gathered on the College of
St. Catherine’s campus to explore the STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math) fields. Students engaged in fun hands-on
activities and even got to create their own t-shirt using
chromatography. They learned about river restoration using models from
the Science Museum and made magnets from a nail, wire and battery.
Throughout the day parents attended workshops covering STEM enrichment
opportunities and college planning. The day was made possible with the
support of The Minnesota Office of Higher Education, Get Ready!, GEAR
UP, Thrivent Financial for Lutheran Foundation and the College of St.
Catherine.
