The Saint Louis Science Center has partnered with Tau Beta Pi - a national Engineering Honors Society - to provide STEM engineering-based programs for children in grades 3 through 6. MindSET is a national initiative let by Tau Beta to help students become interested in STEM careers by organizing programs that are both fun and educational.
At each session, MindSET participants will learn how engineers use their knowledge of Newton's Laws, gravity, and strength of materials to create optimal projectile motion and structural design. After covering the engineering design process, attendees will use this knowledge to compete in a design challenge.
10 a.m. to noon at the Saint Louis Science Center. Cost is $5 per child. Reservations are required.
