STEAM Art & Play (3rd - 5th)
S.T.E.A.M. Art & Play is a monthly after school class for 3-5th graders. Students will participate in various STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) activities with an emphasis on process-centered art. Kids will explore forces/motion, patterns, circuits, chemistry, geometry, engineering, buoyancy, and more as they create and experiment. Inquiry, collaboration, and an emphasis on process-based learning are at the heart of the class.
STEAM participants earn .5 SLAM points per session attended.
