| On April 5th, 2014, the 3rd Annual Pyramid STEM Showcase will deliver a high-powered family event designed to educate and empower. Held annually during National Black Family Technology Awareness Week or Philly Tech Week, the Pyramid STEM Showcase was designed to expand the knowledge base of our community with both historic references and exposure to current technologies.
Our partner again this year will be the Leon H. Sullivan Center (formerly the Zion Community Center). Free to the public, this showcase will provide an opportunity for youth, parents, government, industry, educators and organizations to come together to learn and share. Our expected outcomes are to:
- Provide touch and feel exposure to technologies
- Encourage interest in STEM to k-12 students
- Identify STEM-related programs for k-12 and college students
- Encourage adult interest in particularly information technology as well as all STEM careers
- Educate everyone on aspects of technology in their day-to-day lives
Come out for African American History Month to the Pyramid STEM Showcase - Saturday, February 15th, 12-5 PM at the Leon H. Sullivan Center, 3601 N. Broad St - at the corner of Broad and Venango Streets. This Free event features hands-on exhibits, information tables, Black Inventions and History exhibits, speakers, giveaways and vendors; learn robotics and join in on the Hour of code in the computer lab. Your children can do some science projects, or we all can learn about career opportunities. Other exhibitors will include Wilco Electronic Systems, Inc, Women in Forensic Science and HealthLink International. African dancers will entertain you or get a chance to win a tablet or computer each hour. We are bound to excite all ages about the wonders of science, technology, engineering and math.
