 Information about the MATC STEMtacular Event

Marlatt 6th Graders have been invited to the Manhattan Area Technical College STEMtacular event. We will leave Marlatt at 11:15 am and walk to MATC (across from CICO park.) We will look at projects MATC students have made in each of the areas of study at the college. We will also take turns walking through their Haunted Trail. (Students who do not want to walk the spooky trail can just stay at the main building and look at the exhibits with Mrs. Galitzer, who is too scared to walk the trail!) Students will eat lunch at school before leaving for the field trip.We will return to Marlatt by 1:20 pm. If you have any questions, feel free to email one of the 6th grade teachers!
