Oil City Area School District's Science, Technology, Engineering and Math teachers will hold a Books and Bike Remake Learning Day from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 15 at the Oil Creek State Park bike trail.
The day gives families a chance to walk or bike to different stations set up along a half section of the trail near Petroleum Centre in order learn while they exercise and enjoy nature.
The first station will include a story read by an engineer or person who works in the STEM field. The second station will be a STEM challenge, and the third station will be a trail talk and treat. Students will collect artifacts at each station. The first 100 participants to complete all three stations and fill out their cards will earn a prize.
