Get Ready to Tee Off for a Great Cause: The Project Make It Mini Golf Challenge!
Mark your calendars, grab your putter, and prepare for a day that’s sure to be a hole-in-one!
The Project Make It Mini Golf Challenge is Saturday, March 1, and it’s not just a day of fun – it’s a celebration of creativity, innovation, and the power of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).
What’s the Challenge?
Students from across St. Louis have been hard at work designing and building creative, one-of-a-kind mini golf holes. From brainstorming blueprints to constructing the final designs, these kids are putting their STEAM skills to the test. On event day, we’ll bring all their imaginative projects together to create an epic mini golf course for you to play!
Not only will you get to experience their creativity firsthand, but you’ll also show these talented kids how valuable their creativity and problem-solving skills are to our community.
Why Does It Matter? Because STEAM education is so much more than just equations and experiments – it’s about teaching kids how to think critically, collaborate, and innovate. These are the skills that empower young people to dream big and tackle real-world challenges. When students get the chance to see their ideas come to life – and have their community cheering them on – it boosts their confidence and shows them that their potential is limitless. Plus, who wouldn’t love a day filled with learning, laughter, and a little friendly competition?

Why Mini Golf? Mini golf may seem like just a fun game (and it is!), but behind every creative hole is a lesson in engineering, design, and problem-solving. Students have to think about balance, angles, aesthetics, and durability – skills that are directly tied to STEAM principles. It’s proof that learning doesn’t just happen in textbooks; it happens when kids get hands-on, think outside the box, and dare to try something new.
Don’t Miss Out!
Join us for a day of fun, learning, and putting your way through some truly tee-rific creations. It’s a chance to celebrate these amazing students, the power of STEAM education, and the incredible things that happen when young minds are given the tools to dream and create.
