Be a scientist tonight at Institute for Human Services

During the Fall 2010, Professor Monique Chyba and students in her STOMP program have been working with children served by Honolulu’s Institute for Human Services (an organization serving homeless families in our community).

On Friday, December 10, the STOMP crew — along with volunteers from the Graduate Women in Science organization, the Mathematics Department, and many other STEM departments on campus — will host a 2-hour “Be a Scientist Tonight” event, in which kids served by IHS will participate in hands-on science experiments. There will be ten activity stations to choose from, including: robotics, cryptography, fly genetics, taking apart computers, and exploring how whales and dolphins use sound underwater.
