    STEM Holiday Gift Initiative

     

    This holiday season, Garret County's High School Robotics Team 1629, GaCo, has been active in giving parents holiday gift ideas for youngsters which promote interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) as well as spark creativity and builds a strong foundation in STEM. To that end, Southern Garrett High School PLTW teacher and team mentor Zach Trautwein has created a video to help with the team's effort.
