Mascot Hall Of Fame

SciTech Fox Valley

Learning center

😠 Seems like it’s been closed forever…. Almost like someone might have come in, spent 1.5 months doing nothing but cry and then decided to fire all the dedicated staff and then just let the building fall to ruin. Sad to lose such a wonderful place. R.I.P SciTech.
