On October 6, 2026, The Calista Initiative reached an exciting milestone with its first television news feature on WBAY Action 2 News in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The segment introduced viewers to The Calista Initiative and its mission to inspire curiosity, confidence, and a love of discovery through hands-on freshwater and marine science education.
Founder and Lead Educator Scott Bartels shared the vision behind the initiative, demonstrating how simple, interactive science activities can help young learners explore concepts such as buoyancy, density, and the behavior of water.
The feature also highlighted a larger goal: making meaningful STEM learning experiences accessible to children and families, regardless of their backgrounds or financial circumstances.
For The Calista Initiative, the television appearance represented more than an opportunity to share its story. It was a chance to introduce the community to a growing educational program built around exploration, discovery, and the belief that curiosity can open doors to lifelong learning.
Curiosity Runs Deep.
