ANGOLA, Ind. – Area children correctly calculated an evening of fun when they attended the Math Kids' Night at Trine University.
For the third year, the Trine Math Club hosted the free event designed to pique interest in mathematics, a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) field.
Trine Math Club members and Trine student volunteers led 115 students in making slime and playing games on Friday, Nov. 15. Prizes provided by area sponsors were given and children were treated to pizza.
Donations were also accepted for Big Brothers Big Sisters and the math club collected approximately $135.
When their son Parker received his diploma from Trine University President Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., at this year’s May Commencement, it was a full-circle moment for Stephen and Brooke Pelletier.
Golfers and sponsors at Trine University’s 36th annual Alumni and Friends Golf Outing contributed a record amount for student scholarships, raising $115,000 at the Aug. 7 event.
It may sound like all fun and games, but two Trine University faculty members gave academic presentations during North America’s largest board gaming convention.
