Secret Codes - 11am - Grades 5, 6, and 7

Dear Parents and Teachers,

New this year, on a trial basis for the fall season, IHMC's Science Saturdays are open to 7th graders.

It’s time to sign up for our October event. This free, fun, hands-on STEM event takes place at IHMC, 15 SE Osceola Ave., on October 12. Students in grades 3 through 7 are invited. This Science Saturday will be led by Dr. Arash Mahyari, Research Scientist at IHMC. We will be learning about cryptography - the study of writing and solving secret codes. We’ll do hands-on activities involving the encoding and decoding of secret messages.

Please register students in grades 3 and 4 at 9 am and students in grades 5, 6, and 7 at 11 am. Both sessions will be age appropriate, so please be sure to register for the correct time.

The generosity of the season sponsors,The generosity of the season sponsors, Lockheed Martin, the Florida Blue Foundation, Cox, and Ocala Electric Utility, helps IHMC to offer Science Saturdays free of charge for all attendees.

If there are no tickets left when you register, please click on JOIN WAITLIST and follow the instructions. We will let you know no later than the Friday before if we can accommodate your child. It’s worthwhile to join the list, as we there are often cancellations during the last few days before each Science Saturday. And… if you don’t get a ticket after joining the list, you can request priority registration for the next event. If you have any questions, please call the IHMC front desk at 352-387-3050.

Science and STEM are super fun! We hope you’ll join us.

Best wishes,

Ursula M. Schwuttke, Ph.D.
