SciFest: International Science Festival

Submitted by Jessica on Wed, 10/19/2011 - 3:41pm. Special Events

This week begins the annual presentation of SCIFEST: International Science Festival programming. For the third year in a row we've been asked to participate as presenters for Design Challenge. Staff have led school programming for over 300 students in two days! Tomorrow we wrap up with two more sessions where we'll be discussing the science principles behind roller coasters. Our first challenge is to have students build a "ski jump" where the marble must travel down the track and land in a can. Teams try to beat their distance before advancing to the next challenge. Over the last two years the distance to beat was 71 inches, but today a group completed a jump 84 inches away! 

On Saturday YES teens will be attending a variety of sessions at Scifest where we'll be hearing about the science in everyday life. Scifest is open to the public so stop in Saturday or Sunday to learn more!

We would like to invite you and your schools to participate with us during this national event. The timing will be appropriate as we celebrate National Engineers Week in general during this period. Furthermore, the weekend of February 23-24 will be highlighted by the annual Missouri Society of Professional Engineers (MSPE) sponsored exhibition at the Science Center.The event will be held at the Science Center's Taylor Community Science Resource Center, 4900 Manchester (SW corner of Manchester and Kingshighway). Below are the main goals of the event, and things we would love to have your students experience while joining us for the week.

Program Concept and Objectives

The overall objectives are to help students better understand and recognize the academic and career opportunities available within the various disciplines. The Engineer's Week program's goals are to:

1. Provide students with concrete experiences related specifically to engineering careers that might otherwise seem unrelated to their current academic studies and everyday experiences.
