Snakes and STEM the stars of Fernan Academy career night
A surprise was waiting for Aubrey Ahrens as she and her parents pulled up to Fernan STEM Academy on Thursday night. Before she entered the school for a hand-on career night, the fourth grader got to park herself in the hotseat of a small bulldozer to see what it was like. Ahrens got to hold the controls and get a new vantage point for how heavy machinery looked from the driver’s seat.
