We'll explore different maps (topographical, political, etc.) and discuss map components. Participants will make an imaginary map of their own, "discover" a treasure map at the library, and use it to find a treasure hidden downtown.
The event is the sixth in a series of six free sessions featuring science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) for local kids ages 6-12. Each session will feature a story related to the topic of the day followed by hands-on activities. Participants will receive prizes for attending the highest number of sessions. Sponsored by the Bennington Free Library, the Bennington 4-H Foundation, and the Young Explorers 4-H Club.
