TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College is offering a fun and unique way to give back to the community while getting an up-close look at some of the most exciting new technology available on campus.<\/p>\n

Students will host STEM Exploration Day from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 18, <\/span>at the Parsons-Stulen building on NMC’s Aero Park campus. The event <\/span>benefits the Food for Thought “Fill the Pantries: Food Drive Challenge.”<\/p>\n

Community members of all ages are invited to explore and play with some of the latest equipment from NMC programs including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, aviation flight simulators, welding, hybrid vehicles, 3D printer and interactive robots. LEGO robotics and the Grand Traverse County Police Technology Department will also be available.<\/p>\n

NMC’s Computer Information Technology department will also host an Explore Your Major event during the STEM Exploration day. By completing activities on a Exploration Passport, such as building and programming games,  exploring cloud computing and experiencing virtual reality, participants in sixth grade and above can enter a drawing for an XBox One. <\/p>\n

Other activities include face painting, a bake sale, crafts and a silent raffle. Suggested admission is 10 non-perishable food\/hygiene items or $5 per person. Products and funds collected will help fill shelves at 51 area food pantries.<\/p>\n

The NMC Food for Thought “Fill the Pantries: Food Drive Challenge” is a semester-long experiential learning project that pairs NMC students and the Northwest Michigan Food Coalition. <\/p>\n

Release date: november 14, 2017<\/h3>\n
