Sessions will have a S.T.E.A.M. focus (science, technology, engineering, art and math) that is fun, entertaining and cool. Participants will learn about nature's balance, freshwater fish biology and growing plants without soil! Hands-on experiments, watercolor painting instruction and healthy snacks included.
