STEM Day was a success! Urban Adventures worked hard planning this event for our county.

-Dylan and Owen taught an introduction to Tinkercad workshop where kids designed their pendants. They also had the opportunity to print it out and take it home.

-Shawn and his mom, Amy, taught an introduction to scratch coding. The kids spun the robot through the obstacle course Shawn designed.

-Fritz led younger kids through snap circuits with some fun kits

-Izzy and Gretchen led squishy circuits- using conductive and non-conductive playdough, create little critters with lights that can light up if your circuit is complete

The 4-H members also provided some free and open centers to rotate at your own pace. They had Magnetic Tiles and Kapla block building challenges that are leveled skill builders. Lastly, a coloring area for those needing a calm space to work!

Good Job, Urban Adventures! We are looking forward to having this event again.
