Other events in our area include Carolyn Cave Tours at Ledge View Nature Center on Saturday, October 14 from 1-3PM and a Pumpkin Walk at Brillion Nature Center on Saturday, October 21 from 6-8:30PM. Check their websites for details.
Our goal is to interest students in each part of STREAM - science, technology, robotics, engineering, art, and math. These events are coordinated with the Wisconsin Science Fest.
Chilton’s STEAMfest will begin with a presentation by REGI – Raptor Educational Group, Incorporated from Antigo called WINGED WONDERS. Have you ever met an owl face to face? What about a hawk? A falcon? Meet some of Wisconsin's common, but rarely encountered birds. Discover what a raptor is, hear their stories and learn what you can do to ensure they remain a significant part of the ecosystem. After the presentation attendees will participate in the following activities:
SCIENCE - Owl Pellets & REGI
TECHNOLOGY – Oculus/Virtual Reality & Let's Go Code
ROBOTICS - Ozobots & Indi Car Robots
ENGINEERING - Bird Cage with Brain Flakes & Can you step through an index card?
ART - Button making & Messy art
MATH - Bean Bag Math & Candy Sudoku
All events are free to the public, courtesy of a WiLS Action Grant, except Ledge View Nature Center’s. One must register on the LVNC website. Attend one, attend all!
