The Importance of Exploring STEM & STEAM through Events and Places to Explore
We are always looking for ways to bring STEM and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) concepts to life for our family. Although they might seem intimidating at first, attending or even participating in maker events, tech festivals and robotics exhibitions make STEM and STEAM subjects approachable.
Getting outside and exploring local, state, and national parks is also a great way to see STEAM in real life. Many of the programs are free or low-cost, and the natural settings encourage uninhibited thinking and spark creativity.
Art museums, science museums, and children’s museums are filled with experiential ways to spark STEAM curiosity and to learn from both scientists and personal experience. Most museums are filled with tactile experiences where kids can tinker with the digital and physical world. Keep connected with the museums to learn about traveling exhibits and special programs that you and your family can try.
Aquariums, zoos, and natural history museums are a great way to see science and math all around you and to help connect kids with fossils from the technology of the future.
Enjoy finding and experiencing STEAM in real life with your family.
