WHITE HALL â Supplemental education nonprofit Learning Options Inc. is bringing back one of its signature events, Science Saturdays.
This time, the activities planned for Science Saturdays will be set up with COVID-19 precautions in mind.
âWe, of course, have struggled just like everyone else has with COVID,â said Dana Powell, executive director of Learning Options. âSo we have started our very popular Science Saturdays again, but this time we are taking science outdoors. We are talking about the science of exercise, secondly, we are doing garden science, third weâre doing wild bird science, then we are talking about forest science.â
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineerin, Art, and Math, and camp participants will use each of those fields as they construct their own art tool bags, create handmade journals to chronicle their adventures, explore the bottomland forest area and nature trails around RBNC and more. They ll also design, construct, and paint their own projects using innovation and creativity.
Through it all they ll also have one heck of a good time.
