FCCLA had an amazing time visiting the Mid-America Science Museum in Hot Springs! Students explored hands-on exhibits, learned about science and technology, and enjoyed interactive activities throughout the museum. One of the highlights was experiencing the Tesla coil demonstration, where students got to see powerful electrical currents in action. Another favorite was the exciting 14-foot trampoline experience that challenged students to test gravity and motion in a fun way! It was a great opportunity for learning, teamwork, and making memories. A special thank you to Mrs. Bethel Byrd, PBJHS FCCLA Advisor, for making this incredible learning experience possible for our students!
