STEM Night

Science, robots, games and more ruled the evening last month at the first-ever Mentoring STEM Night.

MakeICT – a community-building organization focusing on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) activities—helped facilitate the evening. Board members Dustin Richey and Tom McGuire came to showcase MakeICT’s Sumobots, as well as a Disassemble Station where kids had the chance to take apart electronics.

Other activities from the evening included:

• Remote control cars
• Playing with the Sphero and Ollie robots donated in memory of Levi Hampton
• A 100 cup challenge
• Aluminum boat challenge
• Snap circuits board
• And many, many others

Youth from Calvary Chapel helped with the different stations throughout the evening. Dinner was provided through the generosity of a local Jimmy John’s restaurant. The evening was a great opportunity for the more than 50 people in attendance to learn while having fun. See more pictures from the evening at Facebook.com/YouthHorizons.
