One step closer to an annual AA STEM Day to recognize the accomplishments of Kansans and importance of STEM in our state-- Kansas State Senate Resolution #1744, passed  March 6 designating April 24, 2024, "Ad Astra STEM Day" to celebrate scientific achievement in the state. We would like to thank Topeka Senator Kristin O'Shea for sponsoring it. Our next step in 2025 will be to pursue a legislative bill to make April 24 Ad Astra STEM Day annually throughout Kansas. Interested in such a cause? Let us know at contact@adastra-ks.org
