STEAM at the Library: Snowstorm in a Jar!

at Olney Library

Join us for a fun afternoon of STEAM, making a snowstorm in a jar and other snow-related crafts!

Snow Season has arrived!

No matter the temperature outside, you can always have your very own snowstorm...in a jar! Join us for a fun afternoon where you will use science to create a snowstorm in a jar. We will also be doing snow-themed crafts. This hands-on program will provide children with the opportunity to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to achieve a result. 

All materials provided.

This program is designed for children 8 years old and above. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.

Registration is required for each child participant. If you don't arrive by 4:10 on the day of the event your registration is forfeit. 

Generously sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, MD, Inc.
