Did we mention they are free?
AKRON, Ohio — The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank, the Pro Football Hall of Fame and other local nonprofits are teaming up with COSI to distribute free STEM kits called “The Learning Lunchboxes” on Thursday, September 1.
The hands-on science kits will be given out for free at the drive-thru grocery distribution. They will help kick off Hunger Action Month, a national campaign coordinated by Feeding America to raise awareness of food insecurity in the United States. The kits are part of COSI’s “Ohio Distance Learning Initiative”, which partners with statewide meal providers, libraries, museums, and cultural institutions.
White explained, “We have been distributing these learning lunchboxes for almost two years. It was born out of the pandemic.”
