Christian Brothers University (CBU) recently organized its STEM Day, an event aimed at high school students from the region. The event focused on showcasing the opportunities available in science, technology, engineering, and math through interactive activities.

The participating students interacted with CBU’s STEM faculty during the event. Faculty members led demonstrations and hands-on activities to highlight real-world applications of STEM skills. The sessions covered various topics such as artificial intelligence, engineering, and chemistry.

Activities included anatomy exploration and skeleton reconstruction, DNA extraction from saliva, chemical experiments with color-changing solutions, concrete strength testing, water purification techniques, land surveying and applied trigonometry, artificial intelligence and image processing, drone flight for engineering applications, mechanical engineering design competitions, and mini cannon construction.

These activities allowed students to explore creativity and problem-solving skills by building mini cannons or experimenting with AI. The challenges provided insights into analytical problem-solving relevant to CBU’s STEM programs.

CBU emphasized its dedication to making STEM accessible and inspiring for future students through this showcase. The event offered prospective students an introduction to CBU’s campus and faculty while generating interest in pursuing a future in STEM fields.
