The Spectrum Outreach team, in collaboration with members of Spectrum, is proud to announce a new STEM mentoring program aimed at inspiring the next generation of young scientists and engineers. The program will take place bi-weekly and is designed to teach fifth graders about different STEM subjects, such as Earth Day and DNA Day. But this isn't your average program - it goes beyond lectures and worksheets.
Instead, the program encourages creativity in STEM by allowing students to choose their own projects. They can create a drawing, a sculpture, or anything else that inspires them. The Spectrum team will provide feedback on their projects during the second session of the month, and the best works will be featured on the Spectrum website.
Through this program, fifth graders will learn about different aspects of STEM and develop valuable skills like research and scientific writing. By exploring their interests and creativity in STEM, they may discover new passions and even consider a career in the field.
During the first session of the program, the Spectrum Outreach team taught the students about pi, the mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The students were fascinated by the concept and eager to learn more about how it relates to the world around them. We were thrilled to see their enthusiasm and excitement for STEM!
Below, you can see the students eagerly participating in the lesson, working together on their projects, and having fun while learning about pi.
The Spectrum Outreach team's STEM mentoring program is an excellent opportunity for fifth graders to learn and explore the exciting world of STEM. By fostering creativity and curiosity, this program provides a unique and engaging approach to learning that goes beyond textbooks and lectures.
We hope this program can help the students develop valuable skills and discover new passions. Who knows, they may even go on to make groundbreaking discoveries and innovations that will shape our world for years to come. Join us in supporting the Spectrum Outreach team's STEM mentoring program and help inspire the next generation of STEM leaders!
