Science and Technology meet in these fun STEM programs geared towards sparking your child's imagination and critical thinking skills.
Every Tuesday we will have a new STEM themed program to bring some fun in your child's learning!

Celebrate the accomplishments of inventor, Garrett Morgan- inventor of the traffic light as we make our own working traffic light. Just like Garrett Morgan, we will be relying on STEAM techniques to make this light. 

Following the craft we will play the only acceptable traffic light game, Red-Light Green-Light
