STEAM After-School Club

This club is for children who love to imagine, problem-solve, and design. Join the undercover “Operative Design Agency” (ODA) to work on top-secret design projects that require imagination to solve real-world problems using tools and mixed media. Children will work independently and in teams on unique research challenges that reimagine uses for everyday materials. Projects will explore architecture, design, engineering, and more! Different challenges each year!
