Shake things up with some new virtual STEM content
Greetings!
Yes, we are still social distancing but we can also continue to be distantly social. Check out this week's lineup of activities and opportunities to connect and keep your STEM learning fresh.
Christopher Emdin, Ph.D. is a hip, exciting professor in the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology at Columbia University. He has gained national attention for his genius in connecting kids in science through the rhythm and beat of urban hip-hop. Discover STEM in a new way through the magic of writing science raps and engaging in science rap battles.
Check out his video!
The Maryland Science Center has some interesting at-home science experiments that are fun and totally DIY-friendly. Create some Alka-Seltzer fireworks, a butterfly feeder, or partake in some balloon jousting, a unique version of the state's official sport!
