With STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) being a critical component in today’s young people’s education, The Boy Scouts of the Theo
dore Roosevelt Council have initiated a new program to ensure its young Scouts are provided opportunities for an enriched education beyond their normal academic channels within their local schools through this Saturday’s Feb. 6 opening of its new STEM Center at 544 Broadway in Massapequa.
Commemorating the debut of this new center, an opening ceremony with ribbon-cutting will be held this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. featuring special guest Congressman Peter King as well as tours of the new facility that will be available for Scouts of all ages and rankings as well as public school students are invited to experience the center for the first time. Attendees can interact with numerous displays which include SCUBA, robotics, a planetarium, pendulums, fulcrums and bottle rockets between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
