Real.

The NEST goes mobile and pushes into kindergarten. We explored the magic of science (chemical reactions) and discovered some scientific tools. #STEM #stemed #science #science inkindergarten #kinderscience #wearepbv #innovation #stemcart

The NEST is going mobile, today we visit our Kindergarten classes and share the magic of science!
