Fun and learning with STEAM
Created for children ages 3 to 6, these activity-based, hands-on camps explore science and include STEAM elements. Camps are usually held on the first and third Saturdays of each month unless otherwise noted. Even though there are two classes offered per month, the same lesson will be taught throughout a given month.
These 90-minute camps — led by Lowell educators — occur from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Parents can explore topics in physics and astronomy with their children. Activities include science investigations, games, storytime, music, engineering, art, and more! Maximum 14 children per camp.
