Whether you’re looking to teach your child about science, technology, engineering, arts and math or to satiate your own inner child’s curiosity, stop by the Linda Sokol Francis Brookfield Library this Saturday for an interactive and educational bonanza.
The library is hosting its seventh annual STEAM Fest on Saturday, Aug. 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is free and open to all ages and will take place throughout the library at 3541 Park Ave.
The library will feature different stations and activities throughout the morning and afternoon. Sensory exploration stations that kids can interact with will be open from 10 a.m. through noon. From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., children will be able to participate in the Ninja Squad Gym, a fun course that builds their agility and gymnastic ability on loan from the company of the same name based in North Riverside. From noon to 2 p.m., they’ll be able to join in on the “I Survived STEAM” challenges and create bracelets based on binary code. There will also be a robotics and circuits event for the duration of STEAM Fest.
For the final hour of the festival, kids will be able to watch and participate in an interactive show by the Talewise Science Heroes, where they’ll be able to see and experience family-friendly experiments through storytelling and learn about the scientific principles behind them.
For more information about the event, contact the library at 708-485-6917 or visit its website.
