STEAM camp kicks off its second week of camp for 3-6th grade students whose project focus was nature and patterns at Ignacio Elementary July 24-27. The group created art and science projects in order to learn more about nature and how patterns within nature tell its story. Carrie Vogel organized the camp on behalf of the Southern Ute Education Department who provided funding for the educators while the Chair of the Fort Lewis College Department of Physics and Engineering, Dr. Haaland helped fund the program with supplies, material and a student teacher with the help of a National Science Foundation Grant.
