Welcome to a new blog series called Community BEE-LEAVES. 

At Ecologik we encourage our youth to write blogs about their STEAM experiences and how they have taken over leadership roles in the community. This new blog series features the Nature Access Team and they will be writing about STEAM events/items/people who directly affect their community. 

This blog series will not only give our youth a chance to learn valuable research and writing skills but also help them highlight things they feel passionate about. We hope that through this blog series that our community locally and globally can appreciate how much our youth apprentices and interns care about expanding STEAM education.

About the Author: This series is overseen by Kaelynn O. the Nature Access Cohort Lead and Program Manager and Ky A.the legal and strategic development intern.
