Creativity Festival for grades 5-7

The 2015 Creativity Festival for grades 5-7 at the Science Museum of Minnesota took place on December 1, 2, and 3.

Over 900 students learned a lot and had a blast attending sessions such as squid dissection, choreography, programming, 3D printing, veterinary care, storytelling, and aerospace engineering (to name a few).
Middle Grades Knowledge Bowl

Middle Grades KB started the season in November with a Super Hero Kick-Off Meet! Prizes were awarded to students (and coaches) with the best costumes.
"Red Shirt" Corner

Joanne Kennedy has been a volunteer since the beginning! You might recognize her as the woman behind the headquarters table at the Young Authors Conference, the Creativity Festivals, and STEMLink... Joanne volunteers her time all over the Twin Cities; we are so lucky and grateful that after all these years she still finds time for SBC!

"When I retired Gina said, "Do I have a job for you!" and I have enjoyed every one of them. My favorite volunteer job is being at the Headquarters Table; you get to meet all of the Presenters (and then panic when they are late). SBC is a great organization to volunteer for. It is a great organization to donate to, especially on Give to the Max day. Every event is my favorite; every time I volunteer it is something new."

If you or someone you know is a superstar of an SBC volunteer and should be nominated for a feature in our "Red Shirt" corner, let us know! They will be featured in our April newsletter.
