I often hear business professionals wonder aloud what high schools are doing to prepare students for the world of work and the realities of post-secondary life. East Kentwood High School is hosting their inaugural STEM Fair event on Thursday, May 18, 2017 and I encourage our business partners and higher education friends to make room in your calendar for this incredible event to get the answers to that question as well as provide feedback to EKHS teachers on the quality of student projects. East Kentwood would love representatives from the business community to join them; lots of opportunities to see what kids are doing around research and development, design, STEM and more. AP students from biology, physics, statistics, etc. will be featuring their research projects and will have hands-on demonstrations on the following topics and more:
- Thermochemical Study of Handwarmer Chemistry and Handwarmer Design
- Comparison of Digestive Systems Length to Showcase Evolutionary Relatedness
- Seasonal Fluctuations in Water Quality for the EK Stream
- Vitamin Effectiveness in Mus Musculus Memory Retention
- Temperature Effects on Golf Ball Distance
Date: May 18, 2017
Time: 8AM – 2PM or 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: East Kentwood High School West Wing Gymnasium, 6230 Kalamazoo Ave. SE, Kentwood, MI 49508
