Last month's Famiy Science Night was rained out (April showers!); however, March's Family Science Night was a huge success, bringing YES teens and their families out for an evening filled with magical science fun!  We explored John Zuman's fanstastic curriculum, MAGIC!.  YES teens and families participated in a number of cool activities that explored the science behind those magic tricks we see in shows and on t.v.  We are taking a break during May, but expect the next Family Science Night in June!  Details are forthcoming!  Hope to see you there (weather permitting, of course!).

It is the last Family Science Night of the semester!  Bring your friends and family for an evening of science, food, and fun! 

Struggling with how to afford a college education? Think that the military or medical studies are the only way?

Check out the college financing workshop for information on how to get FREE MONEY for college! To include presentations and materials on the following areas: Free Scholarship applications, Scholarship Scams, saving for college, inexpensive loans for college.

The following agencies will be presenting information on what they offer and how they can help families afford going to college: The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis, MOHELA, the Missouri MO$T Program.

Each presenter will have their own room, so it's possible to rotate from group to group or spend as much time as permits at certain presenters. Question and Answer sessions will follow each presenter. Groups may be small, so personal attention will be increased! If you have specific question you want answered, this is the PERFECT opportunity!

Interested in participating in a night filled with fun, hands-on science explorations and activities?  Then come join YES staff for FAMILY SCIENCE NIGHT!  All YES teens, friends, and family members are welcome...hope to see you there!

This past Tuesday was Family Science Night 5 (thanks to Meesa and Nao for participating).  We had ten participants, including Lauren's sister Gabby, and even Adam's dad (minus Adam) attend.  It was a small group, but we had a great time with the theme "The Science of Food."  Teams were asked to design sensory tests for "Oreo Senses," using the five senes to determine which Oreo was the "regular," and which was "lite."  Teams were creative as well as thorough with their sesory tests!  We continued the evening with a "Fizz-Off," where teams were asked to select a variety of ingredients in order to create their own soda.  Groups then participated in a taste-test and awarded Martha and Niki's soda, Fantasy, the winner (it really was pretty good!).  We discussed how chemists work closely with food manufacturers to create the products we eat.  Overall, we had a good time!
