“We try to make it fun, entertaining and engaging,” Melanie Ford, director of Youth Education Outreach and the Engineering K-12 Outreach Center, said of the Penn State Behrend STEAM Fair. “When families are here and having fun, the educational component slips right in behind that.” Photo taken at a previous year's event, prior to the pandemic.
The Penn State Behrend STEAM Fair — a K-12-focused science-and-tech open house — returns to Junker Center on Monday, March 14, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The program, which is free and open to the public, will feature laser scanners, air cannons, a railway simulation and a virtual-reality symphony.
The Penn State Behrend softball team opened its 2022 season with a five-inning victory over Sage during Spring Break play in Florida. Cami McNany, a junior from Emlenton, hit a grand slam in the bottom of the fifth inning.
