2023 Winter NOVA Event “Cubs Can Code”
NOVA – STEM Event
Pack 440 is hosting a Mountain District NOVA event at The Craddock Center in Cherry Log, GA. The cost is $5 per person. (Scout and all Family Members)
Why STEM?
We live in a time of great opportunity. The spirit of innovation can help us overcome challenges and ensure a prosperous and secure future. To seize this opportunity, we must position ourselves at the cutting edge of scientific discovery and technological innovation.
What Are the STEM Nova Awards?
The Boy Scouts of America developed the STEM Nova Awards program to excite and expand a sense of wonder in our Scouts. By working with an adult counselor or mentor, the various modules allow them to explore the basic principles of STEM and discover how fun and fascinating STEM can be. The Supernova awards are offered for those who enjoy a super challenge. Discover how the STEM Nova Awards program helps youth be “Prepared. For Life.”
Awards
