Our "Mission to Mars" STEM Extravaganza was a blast! Rising 3rd–12th grade students put their engineering skills to the test, designing and programming Mars Rovers to navigate the challenges of space exploration. From dust storms to rescue missions, they tackled it all with creativity, collaboration, and innovation. A huge thank you to United Way of South Hampton Roads for partnering with us to make this out-of-this-world experience possible! 📷 #STEMinSPS #SPSCreatesAchievers
