Math & Science Upward Bound

A Window to the World Around Us - Environmental Fridays

Here was the Idea...

...How do we combine technology, (which we have been force fed over the past year thanks to a pandemic), the environment, and creativity into one five week

experience? I had no idea either - so I just jumped in with each of you as willing partners...

You made things happen and made people notice. Science, Technology, and the Environment, they CAN and DO work together in balance - as you

showed every Friday.
