PCC Geoscience STEM Saturday - Fall 2025

These workshops will be led by PCC faculty and student mentors dedicated to providing you with an enriching experience.

Join Geology and Geography faculty and the Student Geology club (the Dana Club) for an interactive exploration of Geosciences. Activities include: (1) using density separation methods with water to extract heavier minerals from sediment; (2) operating a research drone and using environmental research instruments to collect geographic data; and (3) hearing from and interacting with successful past and present students in the Geosciences.

This FREE EVENT is for high school students (one parent/guardian per student is welcome to join). There is no cost to attend but space is limited - register early! Register for as many Saturdays as you’d like.

The event begins at 9am and ends at noon. Make sure to arrive 10 minutes early to check-in for the event.
