Materials will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own fabric or paper to experiment with. Please note that these inks will stain clothing. Registration required.
LEGO STEM Club – Tuesday, January 16, 2024 at 5:45 p.m. Future engineers! Learn to use the STEM steps to success as you solve a problem, plan and create a design, and then test your project.
