FULL STEAM AHEAD
\n<\/span>This week in Full STEAM Ahead, we delved into the world of STEAM and engaged in various activities to spark creativity. The students had a blast creating their names out of recycled materials and designing a leg for our spider friend, Frank. They also explored watercolors to craft a web for Frank and wrapped up the week by crafting tool boxes and other gifts for some special people in their lives using recycled materials. It was truly an exciting and hands-on week of learning! We are looking forward to our continued journey of exploration and discovery in Full STEAM Ahead.<\/p>\n\n\r\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/crdg.hawaii.edu\/summerprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SP-2024_0034_HNS-Explorers-272x300.png?resize=63%2C69&ssl=1\")
