Third place at the EVGP race in Dubai! I am so proud of these girls, after facing some adversity and having to disassemble the car and basically take it as checked baggage, and reassemble it on site! Amazing job by all of you, and I can't wait to help you kick butt at the DC EVGP in May! #STEMforHer

This is of interest to the #STEAMinthePark community and anyone in #TeacherSky or #EduLib who uses NPS/Bureau of Land Management/Department of the Interior resources. Protect the natural and cultural resources of our public lands, please!
1/ 👇🏽 Our public lands set the West apart from the rest of the country.
They hold our history and the promise of our future. Rep. Amodei (NV) and Rep. Maloy (UT) know this, and they know an overwhelming amount of their voters support public lands protections.

Sad that TikTok is unavailable? Guess what -- there's more to life than social media!! Here are some things you can do instead!
1) Visit a local, state or national park site! (#ParkChat is a great resource for ideas)
2) Read a book!
3) Visit a museum!
4) Do some coloring or painting!
5) Volunteer!
