Mobile STEM Center for Members

Hitting the road.

The Mobile STEM Center is a cargo van equipped with hands-on equipment and programming materials that can travel throughout the council’s geography, bringing STEM Experiences to Girl Scouts in their community. Girls will not actually get inside the vehicle, rather the equipment will be set up within a determined location.
