The City of Mobile Parks & Recreation is now looking for Volunteers for our STEM MOBILE event! This is happening April 15th at Figures Parks & Community Center at 658 Donald Street, Mobile, Al. 36617.
Saturday's event will engage K-12 students with fun activities that help them learn the mechanics of force and motion. Force is the energy exerted to create motion, which is a change in position of an object over time. By the end of this event, students will be able to define force and motion, and explain how the mechanics apply to their experiments during the event. All participants will build a grade appropriate race car, test it upon completion, compete in an exciting race, and get to take it home. All required materials will be provided when students arrive.
College student volunteers will be given a $50 prepaid Visa gift card for their time and assistance on Saturday, March 18th. Please note that University of South Alabama students wishing to have their time count toward volunteer service hours should opt out of receiving the prepaid gift card.
If you participate in this event, please wear your school shirt!
