科学周六从本周末开始
VALDOSTA -- 美高梅博彩’s College of Arts and
Sciences has planned a variety of activities to excite young people
about the world of science during Science Saturdays, slated to
begin Oct. 8 from 9 a.m. to noon.
The Science Saturday program is part of the College of Arts and
Sciences STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
Initiative. The goal of the STEM initiative is to encourage
students to major in STEM areas and help students succeed in those
programs. The program puts science and math into a fun and
entertaining context and allows students to see basic scientific
principles in action.
“We held a Science Saturday last winter with the chemistry
department and it turned out to be a huge success with
approximately 200 students and their parents attending,” said Dr.
Gary Wood, professor and coordinator for the Center of Applied
Research. “Based on comments from the parents, we expanded the
program to all of the sciences. The main goal for us is to excite
kids about science, keep them excited and possibly influence them
to make it a career choice.”
The first Science Saturday was held on Feb. 12 as an outreach event
to commemorate the International Year of Chemistry. Wood said that
the College of Arts and Sciences hopes to make the series an annual
event.
“This is our first large program and we are all excited and
optimistic that it will be well-received by the community.”
