Ryan Prouty will be hosting a family information session about the program and an information session for parents. Staff will have training the following week and mini student sessions will be held on January 10th and 11th.

According to the USDA, the annual food waste in America is about 206 billion pounds- meaning on average each person in the U.S. wastes about a pound of food a day. The EPA notes that food is the number one material in landfills- making up more than 24%. And an average family of 4 wastes more than $1500 worth of food each year. Join Ms. B and the crew and learn not only WHY the U.S. throws away more than 30% of its food supply, but how YOU can help lower that number. Meet at the GND Rec.

February 7: Automata
For hundreds of years, people have designed and created mechanical machines called automata that can move like animals or humans. Engineers and inventors use wheels, levers, and linkages to create singing birds, bicyclers, and even wing-flapping ducks. Using kits donated by the Science Museum of Minnesota, you will get to use engineering to build an automaton. Meet at the GND Rec.
