STEAM learning is all around us - even in games!

Whether we’re playing strategy games like chess, diving into roleplay in Dungeons & Dragons or trying out hands-on challenges, this program encourages curiosity, social connection and brain-powered fun. Come ready to play, imagine and learn together!

Join us for 20 minutes of chess instruction and 40 minutes of play. Grades K-8.
