Event Description Online doesn’t have to mean hands-off! Participate in live online afterschool programs and complete hands-on activities related to science, technology, engineering, art and math. Make your own weather instruments and explore the science of weather. Design your own video games using professional software. Or create your own blog, podcast or videos as you learn about related careers. Starting this March, NIU STEAM Studio offers hands-on activities that are open-ended and allow for free choice and exploration. Small class sizes give plenty of time for socializing and one-on-one instruction with our knowledgeable and passionate STEAM educators. If your child is looking for a chance to rekindle their spark of inspiration, STEAM Studio after-school programs are the perfect choice. We’re putting the fun back in online, hands-on learning for as little as $39 for a 2-week session.
