Alliant Energy- Power Chronicles STEM for Schools
We are so excited to be part of Alliant Energy's newest graphic novel Power Chronicles: Akilah and the Power of Nature. Our barn owl “Hush” and Dianne are two of the featured characters. This novel is a STEM book for schools, with an online version and video link at [https://bit.ly/3kBdPrW](https://bit.ly/3kBdPrW) We participated in the “Pioneering Your Future in STEM” eventa hosted by UW-Platteville with 400 5th thru 8th grade girls from the region to experience hands on activities, They were able to meet and learn more about our barn owl “Hush” in person. How cool is that? This event and novel were generously sponsored by Alliant Energy, offering opportunities to learn more about STEM while having fun.
