PHOENIX — STEM students at the Durango Juvenile Detention Facility are getting to be part of this year's APS Light Parade.
The students are getting to design two go-carts that will be in the parade.
While they may not be able to drive the go-carts in the parade, building them is helping them practice STEM skills to help them be productive members of society.
Hear from the students and why the go-carts are important to them in the video player above.
