VSFA is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (December 6-12). We will be hosting an online event, free and open to anyone in grades 2-10. The event will be held on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, at 7 PM.

In October and early November, we had the opportunity to lead a "historic" STEM program along with our partners from the Fruitland Community Center and YEES WE CAN. The project celebrated the bicentennial of Harriet Tubman by exploring her life and history and the use of the natural world, including the night sky, to navigate her way and assist others to freedom.

Summer is a great time to incorporate #STEM into your plans. You can visit museums, aquariums, and nature centers. Our National Parks, or even your backyard, make for an exciting laboratory. Get creative! If you’d like a few ideas to keep the learning going, here are some ideas we’ve curated for you.
