Strawbees Scavenger Hunt

We partnered with BirdBrain, CodeJoy and Forward Education to host a scavenger hunt to win a STEAM Starter Kit! These were the rules:

1. Come to our booth to scan the QR code and answer the first question.

2. Visit our partner booths. You can find the answers to each questions at our partner's booths.

3. Submit the form to win and if you got all of the questions right, you will have a chance to win a STEAM Starter Kit.

Congratulations to Heidi Von Tersch!
