To celebrate Earth Day, Ultium Cells teamed up with local youth from the Boys & Girls Club for a hands-on STEM activity – building birdhouses to inspire creativity and a love for nature.
SPRING HILL, Tenn.– In celebration of Earth Day, Ultium Cells partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of South Central Tennessee to host a hands-on birdhouse building activity, connecting local youth with nature while promoting environmental awareness and STEM education.
On Tuesday afternoon, 24 kindergarten through fourth-grade students from the Boys & Girls Club’s after-school program—held at Spring Hill Elementary—gathered to work in small groups alongside Ultium Cells volunteers to construct their own birdhouses. The activity sparked conversation about why it’s important to take care of the environment and helped students think about simple ways they can protect nature in their everyday lives.
“When we teach kids to care for the planet, we’re helping shape a future generation that values sustainability and environmental responsibility,” said Keslie Myrick, Environmental Engineer at Ultium Cells. “As our community continues to grow, it’s more important than ever to foster respect and appreciation for the land and all who share it.”
