STEAM Saturdays: Bug’s Life

March STEAM Saturdays: A Bug’s Life

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.

In March, we celebrate A Bug’s Life in connection with Arthropalooza: Ultimate Bug Fest. Throughout the month, children can enjoy bug-inspired crafts that introduce basic concepts about insects, habitats, and the small creatures that play an important role in our world. These activities are intentionally designed to support early learning, spark curiosity about the natural sciences, and encourage an appreciation for observation and exploration in an age-appropriate, 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.
