S.T.E.M. Saturday

June 20 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Join us for a fun-filled STEM Saturday where we’ll explore the science of potatoes from sprout to harvest! Participants will learn how potatoes can grow in water, discover why cutting seed potatoes in half can help produce new plants, and take part in hands-on activities that bring plant science to life.

We’ll also learn about the remarkable contributions of George Washington Carver, a pioneering agricultural scientist and educator who helped farmers improve crop production through science, innovation, and sustainable growing practices. His work demonstrated how understanding plants can strengthen communities and support healthy agriculture.

Perfect for children, families; this free event combines history, science, and hands-on discovery in an engaging and accessible way.
