On Friday, February 24th, 2023, ESCONI participated in the STEAM Night held a Brookdale Elementary School in Naperville, IL.   ESCONI members Keith Robitschek, Donald Cronauer, Rich  and Heidi Holm were on hand to answer questions about paleontology, geology. and ESCONI.   It was a well attended event.  This was the first in person STEAM night, since before 2020.

We had fossils and minerals on display.

We had a spinner to give away fossil and mineral specimens.

The booth next to us from Phillips Park Zoo in Aurora had a skink and a turtle, which are native to the area.
