Londonderry Area Tri-Mtn Lions donate $200.00 to local student Olav Pajala to attend STEM Camp at Babson College in Wellesley Ma. 

The Floodbrook 6^th grade student gave a presentation to the Londonderry Lions Club describing his past experience and what he is looking forward to at this summer’s National Youth Leadership Forum STEM  (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) Camp.  When a student is accepted they are responsible for the tuition,  his goal is to earn $200.00 per month toward tuition. He has been baking and selling Star Wars cookies and reaching out to friends and relatives to reach his goal.

National Youth Leadership Forum amps are a unique learning experience for bright, forward-thinking middle school students who will evolve into our next generation of innovators, engineers, doctors, forensic scientists, mathematicians, and physicists.  During this six-day immersive experience, students learn by doing as they take part in hands-on simulations, workshops, and competitions, while making new friends and having unforgettable adventures as they plan for a "Mission to Mars."
