STEM4GOOD Starts May 18th
We have a FREE after-school class starting Monday May 18 for 3rd-5th graders interested in STEM! "Rumble Ready" introduces students to the science of earthquakes and the engineering strategies that help keep communities safe. Students explore the Cascadia Subduction Zone, learn how seismic waves impact structures, and discover how thoughtful design reduces risk.
Using Design Process Thinking, students build and test model structures on shake tables and redesign for resilience. Through hands-on challenges and collaborative problem-solving, they connect earthquake science to real-world STEM careers—walking away thinking: "I can design and build things that make a difference."
