Sacajawea Elementary held its Family STEM Night on Thursday, Nov. 10th. Five hundred people from 165 families attended. They enjoyed interactive science projects that included making paper rockets, building harmonicas, making oobleck, making a boat and seeing how many pennies it would hold, breaking open geodes, and making star finders. This event was funded by a grant from Idaho STEM Action Center so there was money for every student in the school to do an in-class science experiment as well. These experiments and information about these experiments were on display in the gymnasium. After doing and viewing the science projects there was a chili dog dinner for families to enjoy.
Several community partners also attended. They were Caldwell Fire Department, Caldwell Police Department, City of Caldwell Waste Water Treatment, West Valley Medical Center, Micron, and Caldwell High School Engineering and Robotics Teams. There were also 15 Caldwell High School students and 11 Syringa Middle School students that attended to help with everything from serving food to helping in the classrooms. It was a fun evening full of joy and science!
