GROW Saturday Workshops
Join us on October 7, 2023 for our next Saturday Workshop!
The Fall 2023 GROW Saturday Workshop will be held on October 7, 2023 with the theme "K-State Investigates! Debunking Myths and Misconceptions in STEM." At the workshop, middle school students can become "mythbusters" and explore the world of STEM by debunking myths and exploring scientific misconceptions. Investigate urban legends, test scientific claims, and conduct experiments with K-State professors, staff, and students!
Activities will be led by K-State faculty, staff and students and will take place between 9AM - 3:30PM on K-State's campus in Manhattan, KS.
