Event Description: Mount Mercy University will host a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEMS) Moms Night Out on April 23 from 6 – 8 p.m. in Betty Cherry Heritage Hall in collaboration with the Iowa Mathematics and Science Education Partnership (IMSEP). The family-friendly event is free, but registration is required. Moms Night Out, a satellite event of the USA Science and Engineering Festival, is a one-night, statewide celebration of math and science education that recognizes mothers’ and other caregivers’ vital roles in stimulating children's imaginations for all things science, technology, engineering and math. The evening will begin with 15 minutes of social time and refreshments, followed by guest speakers and hands-on STEM activities for moms, tailored to empower caregivers to cultivate and inspire their children’s imaginations and bring the wonders of science and technology into the home. Childcare will be provided (potty-trained children ages 3 and up). All families will receive take-home kits that include extension activities for continuing the fun at home! To participate, please, register online at the IMSEP Web site: http://www.iowamathscience.org/registration-MNOS-2012 Registration ends Sunday, April 22.
