SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - A passion for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) often ignites from curiosity and play. The collaborative efforts of Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC), Lake Tahoe Unified School District, and Tahoe STEM Academy are thrilled to announce Discovery Night, a community event focused on STEM exploration on Tuesday, May 14, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., in the multi-purpose room at South Tahoe Middle School.

Discovery Night promises an evening filled with excitement, learning, and fun for K-12 students and families alike. Emulating the engaging atmosphere of a Discovery Museum, attendees will have the opportunity to delve into interactive activities, tinkering exhibits, and robotics displays.

"As educators and community leaders, we understand the importance of nurturing an early interest in STEM subjects. Discovery Night aims to provide a platform for families to come together, explore, and ignite that passion for science and discovery," said Adam Eynon, LTCC director of dual enrollment.

LTCC's TRiO, HSI, and Dual Enrollment departments are proud to lend their support to this initiative. With a focus on expanding STEM offerings in dual enrollment, LTCC is committed to providing students with access to high-quality STEM education.

"We are excited to collaborate with LTUSD and Tahoe STEM Academy to bring Discovery Night to fruition. This event aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance STEM education opportunities in our community," said Eynon.

Discovery Night promises an evening of food, games, raffle prizes, and, most importantly, an enriching exploration of STEM concepts. Families with students from kindergarten to 12th grade are encouraged to attend and participate in this immersive learning experience.
