We are proud to partner with the Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance on STEMtember presented by Oklahoma Central Credit Union and OSU Center for Health Sciences. STEMtember is a month of free hands-on, curiosity-driven activities that can be completed at home or at school. The activities are designed to help children see how science, technology, engineering, and math work in our everyday lives and encourages them to ask more questions to grow their love of STEM.

Each week of STEMtember will feature a new and exciting virtual learning opportunity. You can attend one or all four – it’s up to you!

Week 1 – Family Night at the Gathering Place

Stop by the Williams Lodge at the Gathering Place the entire month of STEMtember to pick up a free STEM in a Bag kit. The Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance is providing more than 5,000 take home activities that highlight areas where STEM can be found across the park. Engineer a slide or engage in architectural investigation of the Adventure Playground. These kits include age-appropriate explanations of each of the projects and all of the materials needed to complete it. Code Ninjas is a proud partner of this event.

Week 2 – Flight Night Back to School STEM Expo

The Flight Night Back to School STEM Expo is designed to help teachers arm their students with interactive and fun STEM activities that they can use in the classroom or at home.
