Outreach to 5th Grade Students with St. Elmo Brady STEM academy


On Oct. 25, the University of Illinois AVS Student Chapter taught ~ 15 4th and 5th grade boys of the St. Elmo Brady STEM academy about vacuum science. The St. Elmo Brady STEM academy gives African-American 4th and 5th grade boys hands-on exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. We showed them what happens to a ringing alarm clock, the speed at which a feather and magnet fall, Peeps, shaving cream, a candle, a balloon, and water in a vacuum and helped them to discover why these materials behave the way that they do in a vacuum.
