Congratulations to Melissa, Dorothea and the entire Pink team!
For a week in January, the South Central Regional Library in Louisville transformed into a science learning center for almost 30 kids and their families. The KET Early Childhood Education team partnered with the library and their pal, Ruff Ruffman to create a fun environment for science inquiry and engineering design processes. Each night featured a new concept: mixtures, materials, friction, and structures. The camp was made possible through the Ready To Learn grant which helps support families’ development of STEM and literacy skills.
… for three dangerously heavy, but beautiful awards.
