New STEAM Club Opportunities!
Our final round of STEAM Club activities will take place over the next few weeks. Please sign up using the link below.
Think Like a Scientist:
Students will solve challenges using their scientific knowledge in this hands-on learning experience. This is a one-day activity that will take place on April 23 from 3:15-4:50.
