Thank you Challenger Elementary for a great day of Chemistry!

WOW! 🙌 This fall the UMN Crookston CREST Team teamed up with incredible schools and youth groups—and together we reached 17 groups equaling over 700 youth!
From chemistry to ecosystems, these young scientists dove into STEM with curiosity and excitement.
Thank you to every educator, coordinator, and student who made this season a success! 💛🌿🔍
