Welcome to STEM + Families - Propelling Our World, a family-friendly event hosted by the DeWitt Elementary PTA.
Today you'll be able to experience hands-on experiments with your family in our Design and Engineering Room, talk to STEM professionals and community members in our Career and Community Hall, and see live demonstrations throughout the event.
If you need help at any point during the event, please look out for our volunteers in Yellow Lanyards.
Student Passport
At registration, each child will receive their very own passport. Hold onto this! In the Design and Engineering Room, there are 5 different stations with experiments. As your family completes an activity, a volunteer will mark off a number on your child's passport.
Once all five have been completed, head over to the Rewards Table! There, you can trade in your passport for a goody bag and enter a giveaway for one of our fantastic door prizes!
