For this program, we will be learning about the engineering process by creating our own toy zip lines! How far will yours go?

We offer two sessions of STEM Club @ La Plata on the first Wednesday and first Thursday of each month so that even more scientists can join in the fun.

Note: Please register each child who will be attending separately and only register for one session of STEM Club @ La Plata each month as both Wednesday and Thursday will be the same sessions.

Please email Sarah Anderson at sanderson@ccplonline.org with any questions.

STEM Club is a monthly program designed for children ages 6-11 years old. In this monthly program, children are given the opportunity to explore the principles of science, technology, engineering, and math through fun and engaging experiments and lessons, led by CCPL staff. 

STEM Club is also offered at our Waldorf West, P.D. Brown & Potomac branches!
