“The kids are extremely excited to learn about STEM. We’re teaching them about the water cycle and how to make slime. We know how kids love slime,” Portia Benbow, Atlanta Hawks Director of Community Impact, said.
The science teachers were from the Children’s Museum of Atlanta. The goal is to give children, many from underserved areas, a head start with STEM and have a little hands-on fun while they’re at it.
“Even making gloopy-glop, also known as slime. We want STEM to be fun. Fun is really where the kids get to learn and explore,” Shanita Drake of State Farm Insurance said.
