STEAM Saturday

STEAM Saturday is an exciting opportunity for our students in grades K to 8 to explore, discover, and learn outside the traditional classroom and be inspired to uncover their passion, gain motivation, and become lifelong learners. Across the Saturdays, students will engage in hands-on, interactive, and fun learning activities in a diverse selection of topics in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.

Fall 2024 Dates: October 12, October 19, October 26, November 2

“STEAM Saturdays have been a wonderful gift for our family and to the PHA community at large. Our son Theo (1st grade) learned how to play chess thanks to this program last year, and this year he eagerly participates every Saturday in science & engineering projects. His little brother Remy is also learning about nature, arts, and our physical world, making this a hugely enriching and fun experience for our kids, as well as a welcome respite for the parents after a long work week. STEAM Saturdays have  become one of our very favorite things about PHA! The volunteer team also brings us much delight. They are always so enthusiastic, dedicated, and friendly with our children.”
 
- David, PHA parent
