Press Release

The Children's Jubilee and STEAM festival went swimmingly this year due to the help of Kaycee Anderson.

 13 September 2016             Cedar City, UT

For my project, I worked with the committee in charge of the Children's Jubilee and STEAM festival. This commitee is in charge of running the event annually for elementary-aged children.This Jubilee and festival took place in February of 2016. I helped organized the layout of the event, specifically the arrangement of the STEAM booths. I met with members of the committee and planed out the specifics before the event. The day of I helped with any hang-ups that occurred and ushered the children to their assigned booths.  

The OSU Children’s Jubilee is an award winning event held in Cedar City. This event is geared towards exposing more children to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math). The Jubilee and STEAM Festival is well-known and there is great participation. Normally, members of the committee go to various schools and promote the event. This past year however, they had an event with the festival the day before the jubilee for children and educators. At the event more of the STEAM activities took place. This is where I will be helped out the most. The theme was “Aloha!” The concert that was put together was inspired by the harmonies of the Polynesian islands. After the concert, students went around to different STEAM booths and learned about all kinds of subjects from space to rocks to theater. The activities planned will also went along with the "Aloha" theme. 

This project was done in conjunction with the EDGE program at Southern Utah University. This program centers around helping students get involved with projects that will give the students greater experience for their future careers. My project allowed me to work with elementary school children and taught me how to incorporate the sciences into my future classroom.
