Your Guide to STEAM Month 2023

Spring is in the air—and so is STEAM, or Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. 

Spread across all branches and age groups, patrons can enjoy over 15 STEAM-related programs and activities this March. Activities include everything from virtual reality gaming to Pi Day celebrations to learning how to build a computer and flower-pounding art. 

Plan your STEAM Month by reading a few of the highlights below. 

STEAM Reading Challenge

Crack open a STEAM-related book this month for the chance to score a prize.
