Fallon Youth Club Hosts MIT Spokes Bike Team

On Wednesday, August 7, the Fallon Youth Club (FYC) and the City of Fallon hosted the MIT Spokes team during their cross-country bike trip. The eight-member team arrived in Fallon on Tuesday evening after biking from Austin. After biking in 100-degree temperatures, they rode to the Fallon Youth Club and were transported to the City Pool for showers and cleanup. FYC Executive Director Shannon Goodrick served meals to the team through Thursday while they gave STEAM presentations on Wednesday. This is the third year FYC has hosted the MIT Spokes, a non-profit, student-run initiative from MIT aimed at rethinking Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) education.
