COMING SOON FROM UPPER BUCKS COUNTY TECHNICAL SCHOOL:

STEM NIGHT…MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

The third annual STEM Night is on March 7th, 6-8 PM, located in the high school Science Wing and Purple Gym.

The Palisades STEM Outreach Club invites Palisades students, grades 3-8, and their parents to enjoy a night of FREE STEM activities, demonstrations, and giveaways! 

This year's event is bigger and better than ever! We have many new activities and demonstrations for participants, including 3D printing pens, virtual reality headsets, Raspberry Pi gaming rooms, and a new mascot - a robotic dog, that students will name at the event! We also have the Nurture Nature Center and Delaware Valley University's Biology Club running tables!

In addition to giveaways, we will have a raffle for take-home STEM kits, and the Freshman Class is selling snacks & drinks and running a basket raffle!

We hope to see you there!
