16 Weeks of STEAM at Home Activities

This program is designed for the whole family to get involved. Each week your family will have investigations, key wonderings, opportunities to explore, interviews with key people in the community and virtual field trips. We have made every effort to provide extensions and activities for children of all ages. Note that some children may need support for some of the activities.
