Elementary students and their families had a "prehistoric morning" at the P-H-M Education Foundation’s "Books and Bots". Students met award-winning children’s author Jill Esbaum, explored dinosaur fossils with the Indiana Dinosaur Museum, and took part in hands-on robotics activities featuring dino-themed challenges. A fun mix of storytelling, science, and technology for our young learners! 🦖🤖
