STEM event Wednesday – Finding Piper’s Voice

Join the Newton Public Library and members of the Central Iowa Chapter of the American Guild of Organists to learn about a unique musical instrument at 1:30 p.m. July 10. Children in grades K-6 are invited to the library meeting room for a unique STEM learning event. No registration is required.

“Piper” is a small pipe organ with a mighty voice. Piper travels in silence to venues within counties served by the Central Iowa Chapter of the American Guild of Organists (CIAGO) in kit form. Participants find Piper’s voice first by assembling the organ and then by playing the instrument with guidance from CIAGO members. Participants are introduced to the science, technology, engineering and mathematical aspects that underlie Piper’s voice.

If you have questions about the event, call youth services librarian Phyllis Peter at 641-792-4108.
