The STEAM Scene

At YDL-Michigan, The STEAM Scene creates a welcoming space to experiment, build, and explore through rotating themes. Participants can pick up new skills with Legos, use educational tools to practice core STEAM ideas, make art in inventive ways, and even interact with live animals. This session highlights LEGO SPIKE for hands-on creativity and problem solving. Topics in the broader series include computational thinking with the Pokémon Trading Card Game, a Leslie Nature Center visit on cold-blooded creatures, connections between music, art, and science, barbershop computing with clippers and physical computing, the science of sewing, exploring STEAM tools, an intro to 3D printing miniseries, a look at tornadoes with the EMU STEMEd Institute, natural science exploration, and a comics workshop led by local creator Kamron Reynolds. Some multi-day offerings, such as Barbershop Computing and the Intro to 3D Printing miniseries, require registration.
