Central Plains Library System provided the Atkinson Public Library with supplies for a S.T.E.M. based Pumpkin Challenge for the area youth. S.T.E.M. stands for Science-Technology-Engineering-Math. Each student was given 15 candy pumpkins, and 35 popsicle sticks. They were challenged to build the tallest, free-standing structure they could with only the provided materials. There were 58 students that did the challenge. They had a fun time engineering their building, and eating the candy afterwards!
