    The trailer is available to organizations across Fremont County for local libraries, community groups, schools, and private events, shared Linda Barton, the Lander Children’s Museum board president.

    Funding for the lab came from area sponsors as well as a $5,000 Education and STEM grant from the Rocky Mountain Power PacifiCorp Foundation. Which according to Linda is the reason they were able to move forward with the project.

    Rocky Mountain Power spokesperson Tiffany Erickson shared they really look at the impact projects can provide and this one really stood out.

    You can be one of the first to see the Think-Make-Create STEM Mobile Maker Lab on Saturday during the Fall Fest which is taking place at the Lander Children’s Museum, 465 Lincoln Street, from 10 am to 2 pm.
