How about that winter blast? ❄️🥶🌨

السلام عليكم  

(Peace be unto you)

Out of nowhere, winter decided to show up with quite a bit of fury. We shouldn't have been surprised since the coldest and most "wintery" months of the season are typically experienced in January or February, but we certainly were unprepared. Several regions of the country hard difficulty contending with icy road conditions, extremely cold temperatures, and power outages. The importance of better understanding the global warming phenomenon is once again at the forefront, making a strong case for continued focus on STEM enrichment as early as the elementary level. This will help ensure that the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers, mathematicians etc., are equipped with proper information and skills needed to address global warming and prepare for disasters and the twist and turns of our climate. In partnership with SciTech2U, The Aafiyah Project is committed to bringing STEM enrichment for K-12 students. Check out this school year's highlight as students take to the skies.
