(Media release from Georgia Northwestern Technical College):
Georgia Northwestern Technical College will host a free Kids STEM Festival on Thursday, March 16, from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Whitfield Murray Campus in Dalton.
Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) PBS Kids staff will be special guests and join GNTC’s Early Childhood Care and Education program instructors and students to present activities. There will be snacks and giveaways.
This free event is open for all who are interested. GNTC encourages students to come with their children or any other kids to engage in fun learning and STEM activities.
