ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Kids and adults will have the chance to explore, experiment and discover a love for science and math during Missouri Western's annual Super Science Saturday in February.

The event, presented by the university and the St. Joseph Museums, will fill MoWest's Remington/Agenstein Hall with hands-on activities, demonstrations and interactive STEM adventures for all ages.

The event will feature contributions from university departments, local businesses and area high schools.

Events will occur throughout the day, including:

  • A "Math Maze" presented by MoWest, designed for both adults and children
  • Sensory perception challenges with the Psychology Department
  • Reptile and amphibian encounters courtesy of Remington Nature Center in partnership with the Biology Department
  • Fire and ice demonstrations throughout the day with the Chemistry Department, culminating with the "Barrel Crush" feature show at 2:45 p.m.

Now in its 26th year, Super Science Saturday was created to honor the St. Joseph Museum's origins as a Children's Museum founded more than 90 years ago by the St. Joseph Junior College. It brings MoWest and area high schools together with the region's youth for a day of exploration.

Super Science Saturday will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 7 at MoWest's Remington/Agenstein Hall, 4525 Downs Drive. Advance tickets are available at stjosephmuseum.org/events.

Admission for adults and students is $5. Children 5 and under are free. Parking is free. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
