Science on Saturday (SOS)

You are here: Home / Pre-Kindergarten-12th Grade / Science on Saturday (SOS)

For over a decade, NPI has guided and supported our partners in hosting Science On Saturday (SOS) events. SOS is intended to excite, encourage, and demystify students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). SOS is designed to spotlight students, educators, higher education, and industry partners’ knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm for STEM. Coming together in this celebratory event, SOS activities ignites and empowers interest in discovery, experiments, hands-on activities, and demonstrations in a variety of STEM topics. Past events have included activities related to robotics, virtual reality, building and structural challenges, health science, aerospace engineering, campus/facility tours, and so much more. Students of every age, parents, educators, and community members are invited to participate in these exciting events.
