Kids have fun, learn about STEM concepts

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — There was plenty of informative fun to be had at Cape Fear Community College’s Union Station Saturday as kids and their families came out for STEM Day.

New Hanover Education Ventures is a non-profit that provides hands-on learning experiences in the four STEM fields: science, technology, engineering, and math.

They invited local businesses to come teach the kids about robotics, 3D printing, magnets, and more.

NHEV’s president, Claire Primrose, says events like this can be valuable for a child’s future.

“It helps the students understand that content more fully,” Primrose said. “Hopefully, it sparks an interest in them to inquire further and maybe they will discover a new career.”

If you missed out on STEM Day, you have another chance to check it out. It will be held again on May 19th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
