Meet Dusty!🔧💙

Barb Urness, better known around here as "Dusty" or "Barb the Builder," has been an incredible FMSM volunteer since 2022.

From prototyping and building mobile exhibits to preparing our planning office space and keeping things working behind the scenes, Dusty shows up ready to serve, tool belt on. She brings innovation and serious problem-solving skills to every challenge, especially when resources are tight.

We’re so grateful to have her on our side. Thank you, Barb Dusty Urness, for everything you do for FMSM and our community!

A huge thank you to Dave Sauvageau for helping us transform our Vuseum microscope into a mobile exhibit! 🔬 Now it’s easier than ever to bring hands-on science experiences into our community—without rebuilding the system at every stop.

We’re so grateful for volunteers like Dave who believe in our mission and generously share their time and skills to help bring it to life. 💙

We had a wonderful first day at GiGi's Playhouse Fargo, where participants explored engineering by building and launching their own rockets! On day two, we will continue the hands-on fun with a life-size model T. rex foot puzzle and a fossil dig.

Thank you to Valley News Live for stopping by to share the story.

From decorating to blasting off, see how GiGi's participants explored rocket science during a special visit from the local science museum.
