The Westgate Academy doors opened to over 300 children between 3-5 years old from Martin, Daviess, and Greene Counties, along with over 100 adult teachers, chaperons, and volunteers earlier this week as STIMULUS Engineering spear headed the Inaugural Crane Community Christmas.
Throughout the day on Tuesday the 3-5 year old children were able to experience a wide range of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) themed stations that encouraged the future generation to use their cognitive skills with hands on activities.

Frazier also elaborates on the influence that STEM can have on the youngest generation.
