The Reuseum

Starting in September, Reuseum Educational presents:

STEM Family Fun Nights!

A weekly event, where each Thursday we will be offering a new activity, with a focus on promoting interest in STEM. Here at the Reuseum, we love all things having to do with Science, Math, Engineering, and Technology, and we’re excited to share that passion with you! Plus, we’ll have pizza! :D

We will also have a math tutor on site, for any students who need homework help!

For our first event on September 5th, we have partnered with our friends at All About Games to bring you a board game night featuring the board game In the Footsteps of Darwin.

From boardgamegeek.com: “In In the Footsteps of Darwin, players are junior naturalists who have just arrived aboard the Beagle to help Charles Darwin finish his book On the Origin of Species. During this journey, you will study animals, carry out cartographic surveys, publish your findings, and develop theories.”

In the Footsteps of Darwin is for ages 6+, and each round takes approximately 30 min.

We ask that attendees arrive at 5pm, so we have time to go over the rules with everyone before we begin playing our first game. We will be playing games until 7pm. Late comers are welcome, though you may have to wait a bit if you arrive while we are in between games.

This event is entirely free! All you need to bring is your smiling face.

We hope to see you Thursday!

September 5th
5-7pm
3145 W Chinden Blvd
Garden City, ID 83714

** For all STEM Family Fun Nights, admission is free. However, for maker events in which building kits are required, we will have build kits available for purchase. Information about needed supplies, and associated costs if you purchase those supplies from the Reuseum, will be made available before each event.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Stellar Stones Workshop on August 9th and 10th! We had an out-of-this-world time exploring meteorites, learning about their formation, and getting hands-on with lapidary equipment.

A big shoutout to Edwin Thompson of E.T. Meteorites, Dan Drouault at Covington Engineering, Idaho Power, SWISH - Southwest Idaho STEM Hub our enthusiastic participants, and Steve Brittenham, for teaching this extraordinary workshop!

Your curiosity and passion made this workshop truly stellar! Stay tuned for more exciting events at Reuseum Educational, Inc.!

Join us August 9th or August 10th in exploring meteorites up close with the Reuseum Educational, Inc. Workshop; Stellar Stones!

This FREE, one hour, interactive lecture will describe different types of meteorites and treat students to a number of interesting, lesser-known facts they can share with their family and friends.

After lunch, students will pair up and choose a meteorite that will be halved by the staff so the students can be the first to view material untouched since it formed over 4.5 billion years ago -- even before the Earth!

Each student will then use lapidary equipment to polish the cut faces of his or her half the same way that lapidaries cut and polish rocks and gemstones. When finished, students will be able to take home their very own rock from space!

Follow the link below to sign up because you MUST register to be able to attend.

Why was the filing cabinet so confident?

It knew how to keep things in order!

The speaker told his audience to stay tuned for more puns.

Weather and camera pun? Why not!

Why did the camera refuse to work in the freezing temperatures? It couldn't focus, it was too exposed to the cold!

Did somebody ask for a computer pun?

Why did the computer catch a cold? It left its Windows open!

Here is a fan-tastic pun for everyone today!

Why did the computer fan break up with the CPU? It couldn't handle the heat in their relationship!

Remember it’s easier to take than to give. It’s nobler to give than to take. The thrill of taking lasts a day. The thrill of giving lasts a lifetime.
