Arconic STEM Day
April 5th, 2024
12:15pm - 4:15pm
At the UofL
For four weeks of the school year, we came to you with Arduino projects and build challenges as part of Arconic STEM Club at your school. Now, it's your turn to visit us! Participants of the Arconic STEM Club during the 2023/2024 year are invited to join Destination Exploration in our space on the University of Lethbridge campus for a fun-filled afternoon of STEM on campus! Tour labs doing cutting edge research in NMR spectroscopy and genetic engineering, meet some campus professors, and spend some time in the DE space playing with robots and doing some chemistry. We can't wait to see you there!
