Dupont Science In the School Day Presents Program at Banyan Elementary


Through a partnership known as CITIES UNITED FOR SCIENCE PROGRESS, between the US Conference of Mayors and Dupont, the City of Lauderhill and Mayor Richard Kaplan have arranged for a free Science in the School Day presentation to be held at Banyan Elementary on May 5.

Local Dupont Engineers will be teaching students about science, and will work side-by-side with students as they construct “puff mobiles” out of everyday materials like drinking straws and lifesavers. Children will then race their “puff mobiles” at the conclusion of the event. The “puff mobile” is a hands-on project that introduces and encourages students to consider careers in science and engineering.

This program is an effort to promote the importance of science education in today’s schoolchildren.
