No Walls, Walls, No Walls!
Thank you to everyone in the community who supported us in our earlier “without walls” phase, some of these hosts include Christ Episcopal Church, Missouri S&T, Rolla Public Library, St. James Library, and Salem Lutheran Church. In order to support the needs of our region during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Kaleidoscope is once again “without walls” focusing on partnering with area schools and agencies to increase STEM programming during this uncertain time.
