Take a STEAM Challenge All Summer with the Library!
May 8, 2020 — Mrs. Davis from the Library Station challenges you to a summer of STEAM - science, technology, engineering, art and math in these online presentations.
Stop by thelibrary.org/kids each Monday to discover a new video challenge using materials you have at home and the Library's online resources. New content will be posted on Mondays at 11 a.m. for grades 1-6. Visit thelibrary.org/programs before these programs for details on accessing these virtual events. No registration is required.
Complete the challenge and ask a grown-up to share a short video or photo with us by email: imagine@thelibrary.org, Facebook: @thelibrary.org or Instagram: springfieldgreenecountylibrary. We can't wait to see how you do!
