Science teachers, Don Ayers and Brad Olenic, bill their STEAM-Walk in Ambridge as a wholesome family experience. Families from the district were invited to bring their little ones, ages 6 – 10, to the Ambridge Jr High to partake in an evening of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
Enlisting the help of Ambridge junior high school students, 8 unique stations were created to introduce different facets of basic STEAM disciplines. From polymers, to shipwreck survival engineering, to helicopter balloons, participating kids got to see, touch and think about how their world works and the tools we use to understand it.
