STEAM Summer in the Museum Galleries

Every Saturday from 10–3 p.m.

This month is centered on learning through connection—linking objects, stories, and ideas to the world around us.

Interactive Cart Talks bring museum collections to life:

1. July 4: Mineral Cart
2. July 11: Fossil Cart
3. July 18: Biodiversity Cart
4. July 25: History Cart

Inside the STEAM Lab

Creativity continues with Collage Extravaganza, where children explore shape, texture, and pattern through hands-on making:

• Pizza Collage
• Tissue Paper Collage
• Mosaics
• Tessellation Quilt

STEAM Lab Entry:

Timed wristbands are required for STEAM Lab access and are available every day throughout the summer. Each session lasts 30 minutes, allowing space for thoughtful, hands-on engagement.
