Local Field Trip Ideas
Here are some places that make for fun field trips in Greenfield. Some of these organizations will also attend troop meetings.
3-D Printing / Engineering Experience (2015) Rachel Smith is a student at Purdue University who is offering a program to teach the girls about technology and engineering. She will come to your troop meeting and bring her 3-D printer, and show the girls an exciting video of the amazing things these printers can do. Rachel also lets the girls watch as the printer creates a plastic necklace charm, and each girl will get to take one home. The only cost is to cover Rachel's supplies.
