STEM for Families

Robotics and coding classes fill in August, which catches a lot of parents off guard the first year. Free options carry weight here: library STEM clubs, museum science days, and parks-department nature-and-science programs run most weeks during the school year. Paid programs cover coding, robotics, engineering, and lab science in weekly blocks for school-age kids. Last fall we did a Saturday science drop-in at the library, a week of museum classes during break, and a paid robotics block back-to-back. The free options were the better start.
