About The Weather Machine

The Weather Machine presentation is a great STEM learning experience for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics geared for students in grades K-6. The contest promotes school spirit and can be a great learning tool for students to experience problem-solving, discovery, exploratory learning and actively engaging a situation in order to find its solution. Again this year I'll be demonstrating the “Green Energy” elements of The Weather Machine and how they are all around us. These demonstrations are meant to inspire the scientist and inventor in each student!

By popular demand we will continue the popular “2nd Chance Draw” and you can even earn Extra Credit for sharing your weather projects with us on Channel 7… Plus, your student projects may be shown on TV! Check the Extra Credit section to learn more.

I would love to bring The Weather Machine to your school! So tell your family & friends to watch Channel 7 each morning and use The Weather Machine Word of the Day to vote for your school!
