100 Youth Attend 2nd SCNA STEAM Expo!
For the second year in a row, the Shingle Creek
Neighborhood Association hosted their Science,
Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math (STEAM)
Expo!
100 youth from various schools including came
to display and discover more about the STEAM
disciplines. Many thanks to The Bakken for giving
a presentation entitled “War of the Currents”,
which wrapped history, mystery, and some
science to tell the story of Thomas Edison and
Nikola Tesla.
Hands on experiments lined the gymnasium at
Olson Middle school for the students to try.
From Herobotics robot shooting a ball for stu-
dents to catch, to shooting straw rockets
across the gym floor or sailing a sail boat with
a fan, or getting a shocking electric shock from
a friend! The room with filled with calculating
minds and high energy!
Many thanks to our partners on this project includ-
ing Minneapolis Public Schools, Owens Corning,
The Bakken Museum, Kids Wind, and our plan-
ning committee volunteers: Daren Johnson,
Melinda Stapley, Pam Owens, Julie Voight, and
Holly Constant for helping ensure the success of
our second event!
