STEAM Saturdays
Beginning in January 2025, on the third Saturday of each month we are inviting community members to present programs or projects in their fields of study. These programs or projects should be family-friendly (though they may focus on a specific age range) and should focus on either science or art.
STEAM Saturdays will run from 10:00-12:00 at Kaleidoscope Hancock (417 Quincy) and will include simultaneous programs: art will be in our Indigo classroom and science will be in our Thistle classroom. Families may move freely between the classrooms.
Kaleidoscope staff will be available to assist, and will provide supplemental and complementary activities so that all family members can be engaged in age-appropriate projects.
This event will be free to anyone in the community, with optional donations to Kaleidoscope.
STEAM Saturdays are currently scheduled for the following 2025 dates:
