The DESTINY science bus is visiting Wilkes County today and Yadkin County tomorrow.  DESTINY (Delivering Edge-cutting Science Technology and Internet across North Carolina for Years to come) has two custom-built, 40-foot buses equipped as mobile science laboratories, bring advanced science and technology equipment to students who otherwise might not see high-tech experiments or what a career in science can offer. DESTINY is coming to Marian Marley’s chemistry class at Wilkes Central High today where students will assume the role of forensic scientists.  The DESTINY bus will then roll on down the road to Starmount High in Yadkin County on Wednesday.  To be eligible to request a visit from a DESTINY mobile science lab,  participating teachers attend workshops to learn how to incorporate module activities and experiments into the classroom.  DESTINY offers 17 different science modules, each aligned with the N.C. Standard Course of Study.
