“Craft Lake City’s STEM programming continues to expand—teaching concepts like rocketry to Title I elementary schools and bringing new avenues of creativity to all ages through STEM Labs workshops. These year-round efforts and growth wouldn’t be possible without the support of Google Fiber as our long-term DIY Fest STEM building partner,” says Lyndi Perry, Craft Lake City’s STEM Coordinator. “This building has empowered youth volunteers, highlighted fascinating businesses, and uplifted official researchers and backyard scientists alike.
