Astronaut Slated for Kids Math and Science Expo This Fall

The second annual Kids Math and Science Expo in Lynden, WA will feature US Astronaut Wendy Lawrence who will be personally demonstrating the use of a wind tunnel.  The Expo will be Saturday November 3, 2018, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Haggen Expo Building, Northwest Washington Fairgrounds. This popular county wide event includes activities and information to inspire children in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Exhibitors and sponsors for the Expo include businesses, non-profit organizations, public and private schools, and children’s clubs.  Free to children and adults, the Expo attracted over 1,200 participants last year and the organizers anticipate even larger numbers this year.  The Lynden Noon Kiwanis Club leads the planning of the Expo as a service to the children of the area. Exhibitors design their booths for children from Kindergarten through 6th grade. Among the activities expected are Lego robotics, marine wildlife, making of rocket ships, microscope adventure, magnetics, chess, and much more. Additional supporting organizations include Launching Success Learning Store, Bricks and Beyond, Whatcom Educational Credit Union, and Peoples Bank.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
