What's Up in Lansing: STEAM Activities

Young innovators need not shy away from this activity session. This event couples STEAM techniques, Science, Technology, the Art of Engineering and Math to help children think differently about the world around them. This concept is part of a movement that was pioneered by the Rhode Island School of Design. However, the primary goals of STEAM are meant to influence children lastingly into adult life.
