Hillcrest HS Hosts 4th Annual STEM Night
Attendees had the opportunity to explore and engage in STEM challenges and activities
The Hillcrest High School Science Department hosted the 4th Annual Hillcrest STEM Night. Over 100 students took advantage of the opportunity to explore and engage in STEM (Science ~ Technology ~ Engineering ~ Mathematics) related challenges and activities. Activities included creating circuits, lava lamps, ice cream, and non-newtonian fluid (oobleck). Students also had the opportunity to explore the properties of milk, the concentration of electrolytes in various common products, the contents of owl pellets, and the unique properties of magic sand. Additionally, students were allowed to test their sense of taste, smell, sight, and hearing. Science can be messy, but fun was had by all who attended! Kaitlyn Cooper said "Dissecting the owl pellets was really fun and interesting!" Pierre Tutson commented "Well, I found playing with the oobleck interesting. I never thought STEM Night would be that cool."
