Emma brought STEM to life at the Spring Preserve with an interactive booth focused on water conservation in Las Vegas! Through live demonstrations using slime and fun water trivia, she taught visitors how water is recycled in our community. It was a creative and engaging way to connect science to real-world impact. 💧🌎 Great job, Emma! You rock! ✨🩵

NAN enjoyed visiting the Battle Mountain After School Program in Lander County School District! 💚

During the visit, students were engaged in reading, math, and hands-on STEAM, including a fun Shaving Cream Rain Clouds experiment. It was great to see the supportive environment created by afterschool staff and learn more about the program’s strong student participation, youth mentor opportunities, and creative support for students and families in this rural community.

A big thank you to Jimi Newkirk for welcoming NAN and sharing the great work happening through Battle Mountain’s afterschool programs!
