Abstract:
Unlike other large cities, Columbus lacks a community science festival. Consequently, we have organized the JW Family Science Extravaganza as a proof-in-principal of such an event. Now in its fourth year, the JW Family Science Extravaganza is a satellite event of the USA Science and Engineering Festival. The event is held in an elementary school within the Hilliard City Schools district and features over twenty inquiry based activities for students and their families to explore.
Description:
IMPACT. 1: Foster exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathmatics as a shared experience between students and their family members. -- 2. Serve as a model for the diversity of genders, ethnicities, and races in STEM fields. -- 3. Promote the fun of STEM exploration and investigation.
