iSPACE DAY is a FREE annual event that showcases the wonders of STEM education and careers. Kids can try on a Space Suit, drive a robot, look through a telescope, or complete any of the more than thirty hands-on activities planned by iSPACE and their exhibitor partners.
iSPACE’s exhibitor partners include local STEM-based businesses such as Ethicon, GE Aviation, Altafiber and Ford, plus other organizations such as the University of Cincinnati, Haile Planetarium, Cincinnati Public Library and Spaceman Bob. They will feature demonstrations on amazing advancements in STEM. It's an inspiring way to spend a Saturday!
We are looking for volunteers to assist with a 3D Printing activity with the kids. Previous 3D printing experience is needed, preferably TinkerCad.
