The Westchester Reform Temple Early Childhood Center’s STEAM Extravaganza was an exciting place to be on Thursday May 31. Open to ECC families and their friends, the night highlighted hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math investigations for children. Young scientists were able to master the power of the magnetic field at the Magnetic Forest Makerspace, and explore the foundations of Archimedes’ Principle at the Float Your Boat Design Lab. They utilized chemistry within the visible spectrum while creating Edible Rainbows, tried to defy gravity at the Ramp It Up Inquiry Zone, engineered their own erupting volcanoes, and more!.
“It was wonderful to feel the excited energy in the room as we celebrated STEAM within our school,” said Sue Tolchin, WRT/ECC Director. Special guest RoboThink allowed children to build and utilize robots using their unique kits, and families celebrated their night of STEAM with a dinner, including their own color changing thermochromic Rad Lab cups!
