The Plant ( Field Trip )
In today’s STEM session the kids went to “The Plant”, an abandoned meat facility turned into a nonprofit building focused on vertical inside farms and shops. During our visit we explored the different floors of the building, seeing old smoke chambers that have been transformed into bathrooms and coming across a indoor pond with turtle.
