Somehow, even before it has been announced, word has gotten out that the wizards at Mobile Ed have cooked up another totally awesome school experience, because dates are already filling in for this mysterious new program.
Well, I do not have details yet, but I can tell you the title. Our newest school assembly, premiering in Fall of 2013 will be The STEM Museum!
No this is not about stem cells.
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
If you have not been keeping up, you better catch up fast. The STEM wave is sweeping the country with a variety of initiatives springing up like Spring flowers, all promoting these skills in our schools as essential for the future progress of our nation.

In keeping with our history of innovation and leadership in school assemblies, especially in the field of science, Mobile Ed is producing for 3013 what will be our most exciting science experience ever.
Unlike our other great 45 minute long science assemblies, The STEM Museum will not be an assembly at all, but rather an experience.
A day long event for schools of 500 or less, The STEM Museum will comprise numerous hands on workstations all dealing with various components of STEM, and designed to delight and amaze grades K-8.
With stations and exhibits dealing with robotics, 3D printing, architecture, geometry, mechanics, physics, magnetic fields, holograms, and more and showcased amidst banners, posters and flat screen televisions offering professionally produced explanations and further information, this show will be a dazzling world wind display of interactive science at it's best.
More details will follow in the days and weeks ahead.
So, are you tired of the same old jugglers and clowns coming in to perform your enrichment shows? Are you interested in a really big event? We figured you were. :-) Get ready. Here it comes!
But, you had better contact us soon.
The word is already out about The STEM Museum, and dates for this super cool new science assembly are filling in quickly!
