BUILD IT
The activities this week focus on building and different ways you can create structures. Remember, we would love to feature some of your student’s work on our social media outlets. You can help us with this by using the #STEMATHOME hashtag and tagging the Oakley STEM Center (@TNTechSTEM) on your posts.

Check out the all-in-one Kitchen-O-Mat. Bath time's a breeze with the Scrub-a-Dub-Dub, and bedtime's a blast when you're up in the sky.
