Before all the Hoopla happens with the First Four games, the college basketball tournament excitement will kick off here at CJ.

 

On Sunday, Mar. 15, the Hoopla STEM Challenge will provide students in K-8th grade a chance to use their muscles and their brains. Participants will have the opportunity to  see how a 3D printer works, learn about electronics and try their hand at soldering, learn the procedures of CareFlight, get up close to drones and other aerial vehicles, interact with robots, use the engineering design process to construct towers and surgical instruments - and shoot some hoops for great prizes.

 

Outreach events like this one give our greater community a chance to see what makes CJ unique. Our people, programs, and partnerships create quite a Hoopla! We know kids will have fun, parents will get a better understanding of the mission of our school, and all will grow in appreciation for the STEM that is all around us!

 

Please invite your family, friends and those in your community to come to CJ for this fun event - one that will inspire Eagles of the future.
