DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – The Becker County Museum is planning to bring a mobile classroom to the Lakes Area.

The Science Express, a mobile lab run by St. Cloud State University will visit the Becker County Fair in August.

“This thing has laser engravers, a CNC machine, virtual welder – anything technology wise you can think of this mobile classroom has it,” said Becky Mitchell, Executive Director at the Becker County Historical Society and Museum.

Visitors of the Becker County Fair will be able to walk through the mobile classroom and then it will host classes for a two week period for Lakes Area students.

Mitchell says TEAM Industries is helping to sponsor the mobile classroom to help keep costs down and provide STEM learning opportunities for area children.
