Fall 2024 STEAM Sprouts

STEAM Sprouts: Fairy Tale STEAM will engage our littlest scientists in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) learning through a 6-week program for 4-5-year-olds. Students will experience the wonders of STEAM as reading and science collide! Students will engage in age-appropriate fairy tale STEAM activities centered around the popular fairy tales Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Three Little Pigs.

The early childhood years, from birth to age 5, have long been accepted as the most critical point in neurological or brain development. Studies by the National Science Teachers Association show that young children learn through active exploration and the drive to observe, interact, discover, and explore is inherent in their development. It is during these years that many in the education community believe that evidence-based STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) curricula should begin, setting children on a path to develop a love of scientific inquiry. In addition to developing an interest and knowledge base for STEAM and enhanced inquiry skills, experts say that science instruction improves abilities in subjects outside of STEAM, including literacy, language learning, and critical thinking.

Pre-registration is required. The cost per student for each 6-week session is $80 for Petroleum Museum members and $100 for Non-Members. Get your membership now by clicking here. For more information, contact the Education Department at 432-683-4403
