Our second meeting will be held next Friday at 1:30pm in SC207

We will be discussing both STEM and Math and Computer Science budget. We will also draft a spending plan for the projects.

Further, we will be discussing the pros and cons of launching simulated hacking environments(Ethical hacking groups) versus autonomous drones (Robotics group).


Thank you,

We want to turn the STEM club into the Avengers of campus science and mathematics! An intellectual hub across ALL SMSU Science to meet less frequently.
It is our hope that we can maintain representatives from the clubs of STEM to meet periodically throughout the year to brainstorm findings and speculate on the feasibility of multi-club projects.
STEM CLUB DOES NOT INTERFERE AT ALL WITH THE CLUBS CURRENTLY ESTABLISHED.

Star Of Wonder
What was the Star of Bethlehem? Was the “star” a planet or maybe a supernova? Is there a scientific explanation for the “star?” In this program, the steps of the Magi are retraced in their 600-mile search for the Star of Bethlehem. Educational and entertaining, “Star of Wonder” uses scientific data, religious history, beautiful imagery, and traditional music to explore the mystery that has puzzled astronomers and theologians for centuries. This production offers several possible explanations for the famous star-like object that, according to historical records, led the wise men and shepherds to the place of Christ’s birth. Was the Star of Bethlehem a planet, a comet, a meteor, a supernova? Or was it simply an unexplainable phenomenon? This show also explores how astronomers use historical records and scientific calculations to determine the time of Christ’s birth, and shows how planets move and meet with stars and how calendars have changed through the ages.
