STEAM Saturdays: Love Birds

STEAM Saturdays: Activation Activities for Young Children

STEAM Saturdays invite families to join the Museum Education team in our STEAM Lab for simple, hands-on activation activities designed especially for younger children. Each Saturday offers an engaging opportunity for children to explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math through play, creativity, and guided discovery.

These activities are intentionally designed to support early learning, spark curiosity about the scientific world, and encourage an appreciation for STEM-centered learning in an age-appropriate and welcoming environment. STEAM Saturdays also create meaningful moments for parents and caregivers to learn alongside their children—strengthening bonds while nurturing confidence, curiosity, and a love of discovery.

By introducing STEAM concepts early, we help children begin to see themselves as future scientists, engineers, artists, mathematicians, and problem-solvers—an important part of the story of us.

February Activation Activities: In celebration of National Bird Month, STEAM Saturdays takes flight with a focus on birds. Activities feature owls, bird life cycles, puzzles, books, and creative kite-making.
