Sci-Tech 2022 Session 3 Recap!!

My Baby is Grown Up
By Abigail Fisher I often refer to URJ 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy as my third child. Like my two human children, it has been my honor and delight to watch Sci-Tech grow from idea to infancy and onto maturity. My first notion of Sci-Tech was following Summer 2012 after...
