Baton Rouge: A Weekend Full of Learning

This weekend in Baton Rouge is jam-packed with free educational events for students. On Friday, the Louisiana Jumpstart Coalition is hosting its 11th annual Financial Literacy Boot Camp at the EBR Parish Professional Development Center. This event is a must-attend for teachers who want to learn how to teach their students about money management and financial responsibility. The boot camp focuses on hands-on learning, so participants will gain practical skills they can use in their classrooms. But the fun doesn’t stop there! On Saturday, STEM Baton Rouge is teaming up with Southern University to bring a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math festival to town. Held at the F. G. Clark Activity Center, this event will feature over 60 interactive activities designed by STEM Global Action. These hands-on experiences are perfect for sparking creativity and problem-solving skills in young minds. Whether you’re in kindergarten or high school, there's something exciting for everyone at this festival.
