Build science, engineering, and math skills exploring the world of textile arts. Create different fibers and run experiments testing their tensile strengths, explore ancient Inca rope bridge-building techniques, craft geometric quilt blocks, and more.

Our History STEAM day-off programs investigate key STEM concepts and big questions from the humanities as students discover how things work and why things are the way they are. Each day will feature hands-on activities and lively discussions centered around a core topic, combining multiple disciplines of study to critically engage students with the world around them.

Ages 8-12. Fee: $80 (resident) / $100 (non-resident).
 
 
Check out our other upcoming History STEAM workshops: Pixel Wizards (Jan. 29), Plague Science (Feb. 17), The Written Word (Feb. 28 and March 21), and Exploration and Human Migration (March 31). These workshops can also be privately booked for student or Scout groups.
