It's been a sunny and science-filled week at the ICC After School Program! 🌞 Our students have been out and about, enjoying the beautiful weather while continuing their citizen science efforts, collecting valuable data on our local environment. Even our littlest learners are getting in on the action—our preschoolers have started their journey into the world of bugs, learning all about insect anatomy with hands-on activities. It's never too early to become a scientist!
