Free hands-on engineering, art, and science at libraries and schools across Marietta. Every kid gets materials. Every kid walks out with something they made.

4:00 – 5:00 PM
Activities
Each activity is designed to run in about an hour at a library program room or a school classroom. We handle materials, setup, and cleanup. Kids handle the ideas. The lineup grows as we develop new workshops.
Kids design paper airplanes, test them, tune them, and then fire them out of a rubber-band launcher.
Design a marble maze on a cardboard base using straws, popsicle sticks, and tape. Then send a marble through it.
Build a small car that runs on balloon thrust, then decorate it like the car it deserves to be.
Using only paper and tape, build a bridge that spans a gap and holds as much weight as possible.
Partners
We partner with Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center to run Thursday afternoon programs, and with Marietta City Schools for classroom visits. We serve kids across Cobb County, and we travel for a good event.
How to host us
We typically schedule 2 to 4 weeks out, but we will try to move faster for a last-minute opening.

President and Founder
I was a sophomore when I realized most kids in Cobb County had never done anything hands-on with science. Not because they didn't want to, just because nobody brought it to them. That's why I started The STEAM Team. I run the big picture stuff. Finding partner libraries, building out our workshop lineup, and making sure we are actually showing up consistently.
Vice President
My job is to make sure the workshops don't just sound good on paper. I build the slides, figure out what materials we need, and run through logistics so nothing falls apart day-of. When a kid walks in, everything should already be set up for them to just have fun and build something.
CTO
Every kid deserves a moment where science actually clicks. I joined The STEAM Team to help make that happen. As CTO I built the website from the ground up, set up the Google Drive automation pipeline that keeps our content running, and serve as a group demonstration lead during library visits. My job is to make sure both the tech and the experience are ready to go.
