STEAM 4 KIDS: Sound Lab at the Public Library
The Judy B. McDonald Public Library invites children ages 7 to 11 to participate in a STEAM 4 KIDS program on Thursday, October 13th at 5:30 p.m. Participants will explore sound waves and how our bodies detect them. We will perform an experiment where we can actually see sound waves, discuss how our brains translate these waves into sound and explore different ways of making noise. This is one time we won’t be quiet in the library! Please call 559-2970 to register.
The Judy B. McDonald Public Library is excited to offer STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) programs for children ages 7-11 this Fall. By offering such programming, the public library strives to provide an informal environment where children can become engaged in fun, hands-on learning activities in the STEAM disciplines. STEAM programs will be offered every Thursday from 5:30 – 6:30pm. All programming is free to the public, but we ask that you register ahead of time so we will be prepared with adequate materials.
