In our Voyagers of Flight #SummerCamp, students learned about the concept of flight from wildlife and the human voyage through the friendly skies. Through hands on activities they experimented with elements of flight – clouds, atmosphere, wind, and climate. Learn more about EIS at eisca.org.

A fun fact about bees for #WorldBeeDay! No surprise that bees are innovative and intelligent at problem solving.
Facing a scarcity of pollen, bumblebees will nibble on the leaves of flowerless plants, causing intentional damage in a way that speeds up the production of flowers, according to a Science study from 2020.
