Yakima Valley College, in partnership with the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), will host a STEM Day for the public on Saturday, February 8, 2025, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. in Glenn Anthon Hall, Building 4.
Do you have a child who likes to experiment and explore the connections between math, technology, science and engineering? This free event will provide a host of hands-on activities, presentations and workshops for elementary and middle-school aged youth.
In addition to showcasing YVC’s program, OMSI will provide live demonstrations and bring 12 to 15 tables with science equipment and challenges guaranteed to thrill youngsters, perplex adults and offer an unforgettable science experience.
YVC’s STEM Pathway offers degrees and certificates for students who want to be doctors or dentists, pharmacists or physical therapists; students who want to design and build complex structures such as computer systems, machines and buildings; or who plan on managing farms, starting wineries or pursuing research in any field of science or mathematics. Students interested in teaching high school sciences should also consider this pathway. While some degrees and certificates end at YVC, many of them transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
Groups of 10 or more planning to attend STEM Day should contact STEM Navigator Vanessa Tucker for reservation times at vtucker@yvcc.edu or 509.574.4892.
