NORFOLK, Neb. -- Norfolk Public Schools celebrated STEM education Thursday night.

Thanks to funds from the Big Red Keno Science & Math Program, the school district took part in the 7th Annual Project Problem Solve event.

The event was free and open to the public and featured many projects created and led by Norfolk Public Schools teachers and students.

The hands-on learning opportunities included creating vinyl stickers, 3D printing, creating animal cell models, and many other fun STEM-inspired activities.

“We are proud to support the communities we serve through grants that promote science and math education for youth," said Big Red Keno General Counsel Bill Harvey. "We are pleased to continue our long-time partnership with Norfolk Public Schools, providing support to programs that help teachers bring science to life.”
