The first Exploring Saturday was held at NMC’s Areo Park Campus on Saturday, November 5th from noon–4:00 p.m. Over a dozen middle school aged students enjoyed learning about electricity in a hands -on fashion. Students constructed their own circuit board and magnetic LED lights. There will be seven more of these STEM opportunities for local students in our area.
