Looking for a way to excite teachers and families about your school’s science program? A “Super Science Saturday” can provide a safe, fun, and interactive educational experience to do just that. When a community collaborates to plan and implement exciting science activities for area families, you can create a buzz about science at your school.
A successfully established collaboration between the University of St. Thomas, a small liberal arts Catholic university in Houston, Texas, and a local elementary school, Helms Community Learning Center was the perfect model for involving families and the community. In just two years, this science event has become a much-anticipated family outing that draws current students, younger siblings, and even former students to attend.
