Together in a special partnership with Glacier National Park and the Glacier Institute, and thanks to generous support from the Thomas O. Brown Foundation, a small group of middle school girls recently had the opportunity to participate in a brand new camp focused on science, technology, engineering, art, and math – "STEAM" for short.
During the 4-day overnight camp in June, participants attended a variety of workshops to learn about Glacier's changing landscapes. Melissa Sladek, Science Communication Specialist for Glacier's Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center, says the program empowers young women "to become leaders in thinking about and working toward solving complex issues affecting our world."
