The three-part series, which promotes learning about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) through local history, will take place in-person during three sessions throughout the summer. There also will be 10 take-home kits available per session for those who would rather complete the activities at home.
The in-person program and take-home kits are free. Kids can attend or get take-home kits for one, two or all three sessions. For in-person sessions, kids can pick from one of two time slots offered during the June, July and August sessions. There are five spots available in each time slot.

The Monroe News
Hayes Presidential Library & Museums in Fremont, Ohio, has added a number of maps and navigational charts to its online catalogs.
The items were in the archives of the Hayes Presidential Library, and include original, hand-drawn lithographs along with hand-painted maps on fabric. Others are copies of maps located in the National Archives.
They have been in storage for decades.
For more than a year, Hayes Presidential Librarian Pat Breno has been studying these maps, determining the years or time periods in which they were created and cataloging them online.
She adds them to the online catalogs run by WorldCat and Bowling Green State University, which are available on Hayes Presidential’s website, and describes each one. From there, anyone across the world can search for them using keywords.
