CuSTEMized and The Innovation Institute (TI²) will co-host Beyond the books! Life in the Lab, a hands-on STEM education event on June 30, 1:30PM-3:30PM. Open to all students and families, it’s particularly recommended for ages 6-8 and designed to be inspiring for girls to explore STEM. Learn from scientists about how to be a scientist and what they’re working on, use real lab equipment in experiments, and collaborate to design and build a model of a joint. Take home a goodie bag containing a lab notebook, lab apron, goggles, gloves, and a 30x microscope to continue exploration. Cost is $50 plus registration fee. This event is a preview of TI²‘s Living in the Lab series, held over four Sundays this October for ages 6-8.
