Washington County Extension & 4-H, along with Keota Elementary, are offering a February STEM Club for fourth through sixth grade students. The registration deadline for the club is Wednesday, February 1.

The club meets after school every Tuesday in February until 5 p.m. in the Keota Elementary Library. Next month’s session is titled “Put a Lid On It: Designing Helmets”. Students will diagram the human brain and use biomechanical engineering to design helmets for a crash-test dummy helmet challenge.

STEM programs allow students to experiment with science, technology, engineering, and math in a hands-on setting, while making new friends and connecting with caring adults in the community. There is a $15 fee for the Keota STEM Club, and registration is accepted on a first come, first serve basis until the limited spots are filled.

With questions, contact Amy Green with the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811 or amygreen@iastate.edu. For a copy of the registration form, click here.
