Libbey After-School STEAM Program

Libbey’s After-School STEAM Program is a great opportunity for kids to engage in hands-on science exploration! STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math. This program is about learning how to solve problems, be creative and innovative, think logically, and understand the world a bit better. Some of the challenges we have given the students are: building a roof that can withstand a lot of snow, making the biggest snowflake, building a turkey trap, and much more! We have also decorated bookmarks to give to the senior center during the holiday season. We received a donation of old phone cases that we let students decorate and use as jewelry boxes or holders for their many trinkets. During the month of February, we learned all about the body with activities about the spine, heart, lungs, teeth, and skin layers to name a few. We have enjoyed our STEAM kiddos so far this year and love to watch them be creative and become great problem solvers!
