STEAM is short for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. STEAM activities and programs are an excellent opportunity to introduce concepts and promote skills that can set you up for creative, scientific, and collaborative thinking now and in the future. The New York Public Library offers lots of ways for kids to explore STEAM concepts and develop their skills! Join us on select Tuesdays at the St. George Library for hands-on STEAM programming!
