Kids STEAM Night
Monday, March 18th, 2024
Hello UCS elementary families,
My name is Adeline Paul, and I am the team captain of Crevolution Robotics, a local UCS high school robotics team. Our goal as a team is to spread STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, & math) and provide opportunities for the youth in our community to experience it directly. Our Kids STEAM Nights provide this fun and educational experience through various stations that are based on the foundations of STEAM.
Thus, we are hosting a Kids STEAM Night on Monday, March 18th, 2024, for two sessions to give more students the chance to participate; hence, be sure to only sign up for one session as both sessions are identical. Entry costs are $5/student. Purchases must be made at the door with either cash or checks made out to "Crevolution - Utica Community Schools".
For the times, session 1 is from 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM, and session 2 is from 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM. The event will be at Heritage Junior High School, and entry will be through door 8.
To reserve a spot for a student, please do so through the following link: Crevolution Robotics: Kids STEAM Night (signupgenius.com).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the team at crevo.robotics@gmail.com or myself at adelinepaul816@gmail.com. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Adeline Paul
