On January 25, 2025, STEM Baton Rouge engaged 140 K-12th graders from 69 schools for a “Physics of Sound” STEM Saturday. 74% of registrants qualified for the free or reduced lunch program. Participants engaged in hands-on STEM activities exploring sound waves and acoustics. They built their own musical instruments, such as guitars and Bluetooth speakers, and learned how sound interacts with materials. This interactive event gave students a fun, hands-on way to understand the science behind sound, engineering, and technology. 29 volunteers (28 college students and 1 professional) provided 101.5 mentor hours. |
