Inspire Creativity with Engaging Activities, STEM & Art Programs for Kids, Tweens & Teens

Posted on April 20, 2023 at 4:00 am

Our May programs for all ages, early learners, kids, tweens, and teens include engaging activities and storytelling, STEM fun, and creative ways to explore art and other activities!

Activities for all ages include LEGO Free Play, Rock Garden Painting, a Pollinators Activity, and the celebration of Marshall Islands Constitution (Jemenei) Day.

Early learners and young readers can enjoy Play & Learn Storytimes in our libraries and Online Pajama Storytime from home.

Elementary age kids can explore STEM concepts during Take It Apart and combine stories and engineering during Building with Books: LEGO Challenge.

Crafting and STEM are front and center for tweens in May. Explore Koinobori Carp Windsocks and the STEM concepts behind optical illusions, roller coasters, Ozobots, wind, balance, and catapults.

Teens can create Twisted Wire Sculpture art and Spa Day Tub Teas, learn about Green Screen Video Magic, and see how JobNow can help them land a summer job.
