Franklin Conservation District recently participated in the Tri-Cities STEM Career Academy— and sponsored the second day of the conference, during which students built drones and learned about agriculture, food science, and more.
Spending a full week exploring STEM careers is important for high schoolers planning their future paths. Thank you, Franklin Conservation District, for working to get students involved in conservation!
