STEAM Camps (Summer 2024)

The Southington Recreation Department, in partnership with Exceptional Youth Educational Services (EYES), is pleased to offer summer STEAM Camps Using LEGO® for children ages 5-9. There are no residency requirements to participate.

STEAM is an educational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics to guide student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.

In each program, there will be 2-3 projects introduced daily with additional challenge activities for all building skill levels. All children will have the opportunity to work with and bring home evidence-based lab sheets showcasing what they are building in order to share with family and continue the learning process outside of camp.
