BEDFORD – The Duke Energy Science Night at Lincoln Elementary School offered a fun way for children in the community to learn about science Tuesday night.
Duke Energy provided DSN activity kits, to offer each child the opportunity to learn how science can work, even in the simplest form.
“Duke Energy provided the kits for us to use for today’s event, and so we put together a science night to open the opportunities for STEM learning and show that science can be fun,” said Jaime Hooten.
Each child was given a “passport” for them to go to each station and receive a stamp for completion at each booth, making a fun and adventurous event for all to enjoy.
