Harding Academy STEM Night September 25 6:00 - 7:00 PM

We are excited to announce our first Harding STEM Night which will be held on September 25th from 6:00-7:00 PM. 

Our STEM Night will open at 6:00 PM with a brief keynote (geared towards students) from Dr. Eiman Jahangir MD, MPH. Dr. Jahangir is a professor of medicine and radiology at Vanderbilt University, with a focus on cardio-oncology. Dr. Jahangir’s recent space flight, one of the first Nashvillians in space, facilitated two research projects. 

 

Following the keynote, families will have the opportunity to visit tables/booths in the gym where community members who work in the field of STEM will share insights into exciting work being done. From flying taxis and 3-D printing, to learning about community composting and hands-on activities, students and families will have an opportunity to engage and learn together - with the hope that future sparks of interest emerge. As we continue to plan for our evening, please complete this form if you are interested in participating. You can also reach out directly to Dr. Fecht (fechte@hardingacademy.us). 

 

We are excited to launch this evening of community engagement within the field of STEM as it builds on programmatic developments that provide additional opportunities for our students. This year in grades 7 and 8, we are excited to offer weekly Vex Robotics class with an eye towards competition, where students will build awesome robots from scratch, learn to code like a pro, compete in exciting challenges,  and team up to solve real-world problems.
