STEM SQUAD
For over 70 years, Museum School has been a leader in informal science education. The engaging classroom environments and activities are facilitated by enthusiastic educators who support the joy of learning through discovery. Specimens and artifacts from the Museum's teaching collection are featured.
STEM Squad class topics vary each session, always keeping an engineering focus with a creative slant. Activities are designed so that students are able to construct their own knowledge of the world through hands-on experiences.
STEM Squad classes are on Mondays for Kindergarten - 4th Grade students. Classes occur twice each day.
Kindergarten - 2nd Grade | 9 AM - 11 AM
