Children are invited to hang out in the activity room for this self-led S.T.E.A.M. based open-play program.
Kids can enjoy board games, STEM kits, legos, craft supplies, and a show playing from our youth DVD collection. Adults and older siblings are welcome and encouraged as space allows.
For safety - no one under 6 should be in the room.
**We'll occasionally have guided crafts and special activities so watch our calendar and Facebook page for those!**
(S.T.E.A.M. stands for Science Technology Engineering Art and Math)
