Check out what our ICC After School Program students from grades 5-8 have been up to! 🌟 In recent weeks, they've dived into the science of sound by using the GarageBand app on iPads to create their own music beats. Plus, they've embarked on a Citizen Scientist journey, gathering crucial data on insect populations in Izard County. But that's not all—our young innovators have identified pollution as a critical problem and are now channeling their creativity into designing and engineering robots aimed at tackling this environmental challenge. Stay tuned to see how their projects evolve!
