Virtual STEM Festival features Flying Friends and Foes
Mineral Daily News-Tribune
KEYSER - “Flying Friends and Foes” is just one of the engaging topics to be offered during the Mineral County Virtual STEM Festival on Saturday, March 13.
Presenters will share hands-on activities about pollinators and the Spotted Lanternfly.
Have you ever wondered what makes a pollinator so important? Bees, beetles, butterflies, birds, and bats are all amazing pollinators. Join us virtually to learn how pollinators complete their important work of transferring pollen from plant to plant. Participants will pretend to be pollinators and use their fingers to transfer pollen through a fun Cheetos activity.
