Join us for STEAM Night, an evening of hands-on learning and family fun! We’ll explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math through interactive stations — from navigating robots to building the tallest tower, solving math puzzles and conducting experiments. Every student gets a STEAM Passport at check-in. Visit at least 10 stations to earn stamps and trade a completed passport for a prize. Grab a slice of pizza, purchase a baked good from the SCA, and participate in some fun STEAM activities!
We need volunteers! We are looking for some volunteers to lead a station. This is a great opportunity for middle or high school students looking for volunteer hours, or a family member who wants to donate a bit of time to support all our students. All materials and directions will be provided. Sign up to lead a station and reach out to Charity Risko (cmrisko@fcps.edu) with any questions.
We can’t wait to see you for a night of creativity, curiosity, and community learning!
