The Mayville State University STEM department has partnered with SWE (Society of Women Engineers) at the University of North Dakota to host a STEM event for girls and their moms on Saturday, Nov. 14. The event will take place in the Mayville State University Education Building, room 118, from 10 a.m. until 12 noon.

The morning will begin with a flaming ice demonstration and discussion about what science and engineering are and why the subject areas are interesting. There will be time for questions and answers regarding science and engineering. Moms and their daughters will also have the opportunity to make-and-take water bottle lava lamps and discuss the science behind them.

“Mommy, Me & SWE” is open to girls in kindergarten through fifth grade and their moms. Register by emailing Sarah Sletten at sarah.sletten@mayvillestate.edu
