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.
