This season we made STEAM kits for Ronald McDonald House and shared them with the kids there. Last year we made STEAM kits for the kids at Journey House. Our team assembled the kits with lots of activities and fun worksheets and brought them to the kids and showed them how to do the fun activities. We also showed then our robot and talked about coding.
