Boys & Girls Club STEM superheroes camp
In August, we continued our valued partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Green Bay by doing a virtual version of our annual STEM Superheroes Camp! Students watched a new video featuring the water "Superheroes" and "Villains," then participated in an on-site trash pickup at the Club. Club Teachers tied in educational materials from NEW Water to explain how picking up trash helps protect our area waters.
Congratulations to the new "Defenders of the Bay!"
