Our Chapter's partner school hosted an event to celebrate the final phase of their year-long problem-based learning project. Students picked habitat enhancement in and around the Camp Jordan area as their focus. On May 7, students placed duck boxes and bat boxes of their own design and construction in the area surrounding Camp Jordan. In addition to placement of habitat enhancement students participated in the 1st Annual Construction Olympics.
