Each season we make STEAM kits and donate them to different organizations. Our goal is to help spread STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) and give kids screen-free activities. Our team assembles the kits with lots of activities and fun worksheets and sometimes we are able to meet with the kids and show them how to do the fun activities and show them our robot and code. This year we created videos for when we can't meet with the kids so we can still show them how to do the activities if they want to see. :)
