Rose-Hulman hosts a day full of STEM activities for local students
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology hosted a day full of free, fun-filled STEM activities for students' kindergarten through 12th grade on Saturday.
Kindergarten through 8th graders enjoyed the first annual Noblitt STEM Jubilee at the Rose-Hulman bonfire field hosted by the Noblitt Scholars. The event offered different STEM activities for students to enjoy and explore different areas of STEM.
The idea of today's event, stems from one Rose-Hulman student's idea that dates back to when she was in high school.
'At my high school, I actually did an event similar. It was like super awesome,' said Taylor Donen, Noblitt Scholar and STEM Jubilee Student Coordinator. 'We got to invite a bunch of students like elementary school students to learn about STEM and that just really influenced me to kind of bring that idea to college. As a part of the Noblitt Scholar program, they're super supportive, of like us pursuing our passion projects. I just told my instructors about it, and they were super supportive of making it happen.'
The Noblitt Scholars Program supports highly motivated students of all majors as they turn their passion and knowledge into action at Rose-Hulman.
The SPARK! Competition has been organized since 2015 by members of the Rose-BUD program and invited 9th-12th graders to explore different areas like engineering, and computer science at the Sports and Recreation Center. High school students had the opportunity to work in small teams to design, program, and race robots for prices.
