Over the last two years, kids made bristle robots out of toothbrush heads and a motor, musical rain sticks and even balloon-propelled water bottle cars as part of a series of STEM/STEAM workshops in the Silver Valley.
Developing programming to build student interest in science, technology, engineering, arts and math through Project Uplift Kellogg and the Silver Valley Economic Development Corporation has become a major project for Paige Olsen.
A new resource for Valley students is in the works, however, as funding from United Way and the Innovia Foundation has made it possible for Olsen in her role as executive director for SVEDC to purchase a trailer to house supplies for future programming.
