Invitation to the Wellesley STEM Expo, and Call for Volunteers for the Sprague Activity Booth

On March 28, 2015 Wellesley High School will be transformed into a series of interactive science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) activities geared towards elementary, middle and/or high school ages, for the 2nd Annual Wellesley STEM Exhibition.  Each elementary school will have at least one activity at the expo, including our very own Sprague M&M Math. 

There are over 100 exhibitors signed up with exhibits open from 10-2 pm, and at 2 pm Dr. Sheila Nirenberg, a MacArthur "Genius" Award Winner", will give a keynote address discussing  "Cracking the Code to the Future of Robotic Vision".  New activities this year include:

• Expanded robot zoo everything from SUV to insect sized robots including WALL-E naturally interactive robot, wizard's levitating chess set, motorized paper airplane dispenser and more.
• Sports STEM area - Learn about testing of baseball bats and balls, see how a Titleist golf ball is made, experience centrifugal force like a figure skater, use geometry to increase your odds of making a basketball shot, learn how an alpine ski is made and more.
• No advanced sign up required for workshops this year.

We are seeking volunteers for the Sprague table between 10:00a and 4:00p.  Please sign up for a 45 minute slot to show people/visitors how to do a simple math exercise using M&M candy.  Your child/children can help too!  No technical knowledge is needed.  Sign up via the Google Form link.
