How to Print the Summer STEM Challenge Cards

Printer (I have this one)
Paper / Cardstock
Scissors

I have the HP printer 8710 but it’s not available anymore. It’s still running well for years now. Look for another HP Instant Ink-ready printer so that you can use their program to send you ink cartridges whenever your printer gets low on ink.
