Family-friendly science and engineering come to lifeS.W.A.R.M. members of all ages have enjoyed launching around Chatham-Kent. Many senior members bring their children to launches to get them interested in and excited about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
S.W.A.R.M. members have also run demonstration launches at the Chatham-Kent Early Years Centre and the Thamesville Threshing Festival, as well as running build and fly sessions with Girl Guides, the Brigden 4H Club, and local schools. 
Four Girl Guides show off their rockets, ready to launch.
