Greetings Everyone!
I am happy to announce the Great Lakes Bay Region Stem Pipeline has created a STEM passport scavenger hunt that will run from May 10th - June 18th. Students and families will need to download the STEM Passport App in order to participate. The STEM-based scavenger hunt is aimed at getting families and kids engaged in local out-of-school time learning activities. There will be 26 locations to visit in the region. Prizes include Meijer gift cards.
Please help pass along information about the scavenger hunt to families in your district.
Kind Regards,
Molly Tanner
