From 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 2, 2024, pumpkins will fly across the sandy shores of I-10 North Beach in Lake Charles.

 

The City of Lake Charles and the Region 5 STEM Center are once again teaming up to launch STEM-based fun this fall with the return of their Pumpkin Chunkin’ Contest!

 

Geared towards middle and high school students, teams can register to participate in this high-flying contest. Teams will work to build their own pumpkin launcher and then will have the opportunity to put their creation to the test on Saturday, November 2. This will be a free and open to the public spectator event.

 

Registration is now open. To enter or learn more, scan the QR Code on the attached flyer, call the Region 5 STEM Center at (337) 217-4390, ext. 5335, or email reg5stem.center@cpsb.org.
