Berkeley County Library System (BCLS) in collaboration with the Coastal South Carolina Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), invites families with elementary-age students to participate in Three Little Pigs STEM Challenge on Saturday, April 22nd, from 1 pm to 2 pm at Sangaree Library, located at 595 Sangaree Parkway, Summerville. Participants may register at berkeleylibrarysc.libcal.com/event/10461773.  Seating is limited.

Derik Pack, IEEE Member, will read a STEM book, offer a Q&A session about engineering and conduct a STEM activity. Parents are encouraged to participate and/or review a STEM & Cyber Safety packet.  Free STEM home-use activity sources will also be shared with families. Pack will lead the students to design a house that will withstand the wolf’s blows (hair dryer) of destruction by using gumdrops, toothpicks and a paper plate to protect the pig.  Supplies provided.

“It’s a one-hour family STEM event,” said Derik Pack, IEEE 2023 Section Chair and STEM Champion. “Parents can take part in the STEM activity or review a Cyber safety and STEM packet. Your kids will receive an introduction to engineering, participate in a STEM book reading and a STEM activity geared to introduce elementary age children to engineering. It’s a great experience, and we welcome the community to join us.”
