St. Benedict STEM Night: A Mad Science Experience!

Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to explore the wonders of science with your friends and family. Mark your calendar and we'll see you there!
A Collaborative Family Adventure! This event is designed for students and parents to discover science together. To make the most of our experiments, this is a team effort where parent participation is required. Please note: This is a family-centered experience, not a drop-off program.

To ensure a safe and fun environment for everyone, please read carefully before registering:

1. St. Benedict Students Only: This event is open strictly to students who currently attend St. Benedict.
2. Active Parent Participation: This is a team effort! To ensure every student has a safe and successful experience with our challenges, we require a parent or guardian to stay and work alongside their child. We appreciate your help in making this a hands-on learning environment for everyone! This is a family event, not a drop-off.
3. One Ticket Per Child: You must register each child individually so we have an accurate count for materials.
4. Strict Capacity: Only students who have registered and are accompanied by a parent supervisor will be admitted. We are unable to accommodate walk-ins or unregistered siblings due to group size restrictions. (Due to the specific funding of PRO Grant and the capacity limits of Mad Science, this event is strictly capped at 200 students. We encourage you to register early, as tickets will be unavailable once this funded limit is reached.)
   ✅Funding & Attendance Policy (Please Read)

This event is fully funded through a PRO Grant. To ensure these funds are used effectively and no spots go to waste, we are using an Active Confirmation system:
