STEM at the Library: Science Lab at the Library! - In Person

at Connie Morella Library

Join us for a program of hands-on experiments at different levels to learn aspects of chemistry, physics, math, and engineering. All scientifically curious students in grades K-5 are welcome!

Join us for Science Lab @ the Library, a self-paced drop-in event featuring several stations with different experiments and activities designed to help children in grades K-5 learn important scientific principles. This hands-on program will provide children with the opportunity to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to achieve results in the areas of chemistry, physics, math, and engineering. Teen volunteers from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School's Science Olympiad will be available to demonstrate and assist with the activities.

We will provide all the materials for this program.
