How it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Attend sessions, workshops, and field trips listed above<\/li>\n
  • Collect a stamp for each eligible activity<\/li>\n
  • Activities marked with a ?<\/strong> count toward your OIA Passport<\/li>\n
  • Reach the goal, and you\u2019ll be entered to win!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How to Get Your OIA Passport:<\/strong><\/p>\n
