Rewrite your understanding of language. Investigate how environments shape languages and the written word itself. Recreate key historical technologies and learn the mechanics behind their development. Explore different methods of communicating, solve puzzles, and experiment with how language affects our thinking.

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 7-11. Fee: $80 (resident) / $100 (non-resident).
