Everything in the Smallest Room
Scientists and engineers are involved in the design and
production of all the products we use every day and the
buildings we live, work and play in. At this event we are
going to explore the smallest room in the house – the
bathroom! We will discover how the work of scientists and
engineers are involved in everything from the makeup we use to
the toilet!
Girls currently in the 6th-8th grades are
invited to
attend this event. Girls can come on their own,
as a class or with a group of friends.
Teachers are also invited to attend to observe
activities
that can be used in their classrooms. Parents who choose to
attend should plan to observe activities with a group of girls
that does not include their daughter.
Girls from all over Kansas attend our events. You will be
divided into small groups and will be chaperoned by K-State
students during the entire event. Come prepared to meet new
friends!
Groups will be formed by age group. Sixth and Eighth graders will
not be in groups together. If you have a friend coming and
would like to be in a group together (keeping in mind the rule
above) just let us know.
The
registration fee of $10.00 includes event participation and
lunch. There will be a $5.00 fee for an adult lunch. To
register you can download the brochure below or call us to
register over the phone.
Registration is now open!!
