Middle School Programs

2008 & 2009 Middle School Days
Nov. 11-12, 2008 & March 10-11, 2009


SciTech Middle School Days feature the growth areas of Pittsburgh: Biotechnology, IT, Robotics, Advanced Materials Processes, Environmental Technology, and Nanotechnology — and connect students with leading scientists and technologists in a fun, dynamic atmosphere.

The programs are designed by a teacher advisory council and partnerships with local industry and universities. The intent is to:
  • Capture the interest of younger teens, especially girls, as they start making choices that will affect their careers.
Students and teachers select activities such as demonstrations, Tech Zone--corporate and higher education interactive exhibits, workshops and presentations by cutting-edge experts in science and technology.

All school programs have clear links to Pennsylvania education standards and anchors.

“Our only mistake was not to allow enough time to stay at the Science Center after all the speakers so that the kids could see all the exhibits.”  —Pat Palazzolo, Gifted Coordinator, Grades 7-12, Upper St. Clair School District
