What happens when teachers, students, and parent volunteers from District 101 come together to enjoy Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math? STEAM Night 2017! Because of WSFEE funding, last spring students from Field Park, Forest Hills, Laidlaw, and McClure had the opportunity to experience 14 different stations including “make and take” exhibits like Treasure Glass Putty and Jungle in a Jar. Other exhibits like Small Things Microscopes and the Inflatable Sky Viewer offered students a new and exciting way to learn about science. The overall goal of the event was for students to come away with a better understanding of the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, arts and math in a fun and engaging environment.

“What was unique about this event was that it was geared to all school aged children K-8, and offered parents the opportunity to spend meaningful time with their children, trying hands-on concepts, and possibly learning something new themselves.”
– Monica Pavlik, Parent and STEAM Night Volunteer 

“Thank you to WSFEE and D101 for continuing to put our children first and support initiatives that provide meaningful and educational experiences for our children such as D101 STEAM Night!”
