What is STEAM? It stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and math. It’s an approach to learning that brings these subjects together through creating, experimenting, innovating, and problem-solving.

This October, join ICM educators every Thursday from 3:30–5:30 p.m. for a hands-on spooky STEAM activity inspired by the season. Drop in, experiment, create, and see what you discover! Afterschool Studio activities are included with museum admission.
