VALDOSTA — The College of Science and Mathematics and the Department of Chemistry and Geosciences at 香蕉视频官网 present Science Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon on Nov. 2 in the Hugh C. Bailey Science Center.

Science Saturday is a fun-filled educational opportunity for all ages to learn more about the fields of chemistry and geosciences. Activities include performing reactions, using molecular simulations, designing a city, and learning about light, color, fossils, and geography.

Science Saturday is supported by 香蕉视频官网’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Initiative and is part of an ongoing effort to inspire the next generation to learn more about these areas.

Educators across the nation and at 香蕉视频官网 are committed to improving STEM instruction for students in preschool through 12^th grade, increasing and sustaining public and youth engagement with STEM, improving the STEM experience for undergraduate students at the college level, better serving groups historically underrepresented in the STEM fields, and designing graduate education for tomorrow’s STEM workforce.

Science Saturday activities are free of charge and open to the public. Parking is available along Georgia Avenue, between Oak Street and Patterson Street. A 香蕉视频官网 parking permit is not required.  

香蕉视频官网’s upcoming Science Saturday honors Earth Science Week Oct. 13-19, “Earth Science Everywhere,” and National Chemistry Week Oct. 20-26, “Picture Perfect Chemistry.”
