STEMsters

   Offering services to teach and work with young children and elementary schoolers after school, the STEMsters* at Gabrielino are dedicated to spreading the joy of early science and STEM.

  STEMsters is a student-run volunteer organization that allows high schoolers to lead various elementary and afterschool programs. Speaking on an activity involving an egg drop that taught impulse and drag, president Hinson Hy, 12, comments, “They probably won’t understand F=ma, but they can understand egg dropped on the floor.”

  STEMsters feature many other activities that teach different concepts in science, with members helping kids to create balloon cars, their own Newton’s cradle, and structures to simulate earthquakes.

  “It might be hard to explain those concepts to young children, especially 5th graders, but we take on that challenge and we try to do our best,” Hy tells us finally.
