Upcoming Events
SEEDS Events
The Science and Engineering Educational Development for Students (SEEDS) program was established at Wichita State University in 2004 through grant funding. SEEDS lets students in grades 5 through 8 explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics through fun, free, hands-on activities like Lego Mindstorms, Roller Coasters and Animator Academy.
The next Nobel Prize winner, or Fields Medal recipient could be someone you know. Allow them to explore the sciences through SEEDS and then step back and be amazed at what they can accomplish.
Learn more about SEEDS at WSU.
