ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Kids and adults will have the chance to explore, experiment and discover a love for science and math during Missouri Western’s annual Super Science Saturday in February.
The event, presented by the university and the St. Joseph Museums, will fill MoWest’s Remington/Agenstein Hall with hands-on activities, demonstrations and interactive STEM adventures for all ages.
The event will feature contributions from university departments, local businesses and area high schools.
Events will occur throughout the day, including:
A “Math Maze” presented by MoWest, designed for both adults and children
Sensory perception challenges with the Psychology Department
Reptile and amphibian encounters courtesy of Remington Nature Center in partnership with the Biology Department
Fire and ice demonstrations throughout the day with the Chemistry Department, culminating with the “Barrel Crush” feature show at 2:45 p.m.
Now in its 26th year, Super Science Saturday was created to honor the St. Joseph Museum’s origins as a Children’s Museum founded more than 90 years ago by the St. Joseph Junior College. It brings MoWest and area high schools together with the region’s youth for a day of exploration.
Super Science Saturday will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 7 at MoWest’s Remington/Agenstein Hall, 4525 Downs Drive. Advance tickets are available at stjosephmuseum.org/events.
