STEAM Pre-K thru 3rd grade @ 9 am
2021-11-03 10:00 - 10:30
Did you know that kids who are not in school use STEM?
Stacking blocks, matching colors of different toys or cups, sorting items by shape,or maybe playing outside to discover new things around them.

STEM stand for science, technology, engineering, and math. The activities are geared for the Preschoolers thru 3rd graders. STEM programs expose students to “big picture” concepts seen in the real, physical environment. The hands-on approach that STEM education encourages can also benefit even individuals who don’t end up with careers in a STEM field since it emphasizes creativity, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking.
