Pensacola, Fla. (October 9, 2019) – The National Flight Academy will host STEM Saturday on Saturday, October 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for 3rd – 8th grade students. October’s STEM Saturday topic is “Desert Survival.”
The National Flight Academy’s October STEM Saturday will teach elementary students about desert flora and fauna, as well as how to make a water collection system.
