Youth in Engineering Day with the Teen STEM Initiative
All week we’ve been inspired by adults who have been leading the charge of engineering. Now we’re shining a spotlight on the brilliance of our own youth leaders in the Teen STEM Initiative at the Buffalo Museum of Science. The teens have planned and developed all of the ideas you’ll see when you visit on Saturday.
