Rose-Hulman to Host STEM Jubilee April 25 for K-8 Students
Wednesday, April 15, 2026
Rose-Hulman's STEM Jubilee, presented by the Noblitt Scholars Program, will give K-8 students the chance to explore free STEM activities on April 25.
Students in grades K-8 can let their excitement for STEM blast off at the second-annual Rose-Hulman STEM Jubilee, presented by the Noblitt Scholars Program, on April 25. The open-house style event will be held on Rose-Hulman's bonfire field from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is intended to help students' curiosity soar.
Throughout the STEM Jubilee, students and families can explore the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics at their own pace at over 35 different booths, led by volunteers from Rose-Hulman student organizations and designed for students of varying ability levels.
From chemistry to coding to civil engineering and everything in between, students will get a taste of several different aspects of STEM — sometimes literally. They could become secretive, citrus spies, encoding messages in invisible ink created from lemon juice, and can discover DNA in strawberries to learn about biology. Students can catapult their curiosity, exploring physics and aerodynamics to build the bottle rockets and toy cars that travel the furthest. The STEM Jubilee event will also color their creativity, giving students the chance to explore the science behind rainbows and music, including designing their own harmonica.
New this year, students attending the STEM Jubilee will have the opportunity to earn a STEM kit to continue their learning at home. The STEM kits, provided through a grant from Texas Instruments, reinforce the hands-on nature of the STEM Jubilee and are available while supplies last.
The STEM Jubilee will also include a new Sensory Space this year. Designed as a calming, low-stimulation environment for attendees to take a break from the energy of the STEM Jubilee, the Sensory Space aims to ensure the event remains accessible and welcoming to all families.
For more information and to register for the STEM Jubilee, please visit www.rose-hulman.edu/stemjubilee. Elementary school-aged students are required to have a parent or guardian with them during the event. In case of inclement weather, the STEM Jubilee will be moved to the Rose-Hulman Sports & Recreation Center.
The Noblitt Scholars Program supports highly motivated students of all majors as they turn their passion and knowledge into action at Rose-Hulman. The Noblitt Scholars Program is led by Director Katie Lugar, DHSc, Program Coordinator Michelle Lemon, and Faculty Director of the Noblitt Scholars Program and Associate Professor of Biology and Biomedical Engineering Christine Buckley, PhD.
