	"When ScienceSouth was created years ago, it adopted a very simple, but extraordinary mission—“inspire, educate, entertain.” These three words, as small as they are, represent an organization that is busting at the seams with interest, cooperation and success."

STEM Saturdays

Sponsored by Time Warner Cable’s Connect a Million Minds Initiative

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are the building blocks of the future. Each month ScienceSouth offers STEM Saturday, a FREE hands-on workshop in a STEM area. The monthly workshops run on the third Saturday of the month from 9:00 to 10:30 am at the ScienceSouth Pavilion at Freedom Florence. Space is limited to 20 children per session. Failure to attend a registered workshop without two days notice will result in future STEM Saturday ineligibility.

STEM workshops are for children ages 8-12.

**Limit of two children per household.**
