Spring Break Camp Week 3 was all about STEM! 🧪🚀💻

Our young scientists, engineers, and innovators spent the week indoor skydiving, making slime, testing chemical reactions, building structures with pretzel sticks, and diving into the world of video game coding.

We love watching our youth build confidence, problem-solving skills, and creativity while having fun along the way. The future is bright, and it's being built one experiment at a time! ✨
