The College of Education hosted a storytime and STEM activities for this year’s Bring Your Kids to Campus Day.

For the storytime in the morning, we read Salina Yoon’s children’s book “Penguin and Pinecone.” The College of Forestry sent over an ambassador with a pile of pinecones (some giant-sized!) and talked about pine cones. Afterwards, each child got to create their very own pine cone friend to take home with them.

For the afternoon, we had some fun STEM activities demonstrating the science of flight. Kids had the opportunity to create paper helicopters and plastic parachutes they could drop off the 4th Floor of Furman Hall’s atrium.

If you can’t tell from the photos, we had a lot of fun!

In conjunction with the national Take Your Sons and Daughters to work day, OSU is hosting Bring Your Kids to Campus Day on April 25th, 2014. Bring your Kids to Campus Day is way to celebrate family, the importance of education and to highlight the myriad of family-friendly activities on campus.

Register in advance and each child in your family will receive a snack bag with a reusable water bottle, fruit, cheese, and veggies thanks to Childcare and Family Resources, Beaver Beginnings, Be Well. Be Orange, and Pacific Source Healthy Life!

Snack bags will be available on April 25th at the event table between Snell and Waldo Hall from 9am-3pm.

Parents must remain with their children at all activities unless otherwise noted. Bring your kids to campus to show them where you spend the day!

The College of Education is very excited to be part of this year’s festivities. See the flyer below for a list of all the activities:
