At Every STEAM Event

Whether it's your first STEAM event or your fifth, here's what every The STEAM Team workshop looks like.

Just Show Up!

No materials needed, no sign-up fee, no prior experience required. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to try new things.

Small Groups

We keep class sizes small (limited spots!) so every child gets personal attention and guidance from our student volunteers.

Build & Take Home

Every child builds their own creation from scratch and takes it home. A marble maze, balloon car, or paper airplane launcher — yours to keep!

Share the Fun

Tag us on Instagram @thesteamteamm — we love seeing our creations in the wild and sharing the energy from our events!
