STEAM Nights
STEAM Nights
Engage the whole family when we bring our exciting, hands-on activities to you! Our standards-aligned activities are geared toward children in PreK-6th and are designed to allow parents/grandparents/guardians to self-guide their students through each station. Works great as a stand alone event, or paired with your back-to-school night, winter concert, end-of-year celebration, or other family engagement activities.
