Learners & Makers
The more we learn about how we learn, we see the importance of hands-on learning experiences. This “at home” series for children ages 0 – 5 teaches STEAM concepts in a way that works for young children. Each month will feature a new topic. Please come back next month to discover more!
This program series is made possible by an Arizona State Library STEAM mini-grant.
