March 7, 2017
POCATELLO – The Idaho Museum of Natural History will host the 29th annual Science Trek™ sleep over for third- through fifth-grade students on April 28-29 and the deadline for registering is April 4.
鈥淪cience Trek is way for kids to have adventures in science that are fun, hands-on, and led by amazing scientists. Science becomes real and exciting in this type of experience,鈥� said Ashelee Rasmussen, museum education specialist.
Participants will interact with premier scientists and sleep among the museum鈥檚 exhibits. All trekkers receive an official ST17 T-Shirt and get sneak peeks into the exciting fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The sleep over will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, April 28, and end at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 29.
For almost 30 years, Science Trek鈩� has served as a gateway for young scientists to learn more about their natural world. Third- through fifth-graders are invited to explore new frontiers with an overnight adventure hosted by the Idaho Museum of Natural History and Idaho Public Television.
Science Trek has been a mainstay activity within the Pocatello community for the past 28 years. Founded by retired Education Curator, Rebecca Thorne-Ferrel, Science Trek has been running so long that adults who attended as children now volunteer to help to run the event.
Registration is first-come, first-served and due by April 4. Late registrations and registrations at the door will not be accepted. The cost to register is $45 and includes programming, T-shirt, dinner and snacks.
