POB Hosts STEAM Night

Hundreds of families and children of all ages visited Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School on March 30th for STEAM Night.

Through 28 hands-on, STEAM-related activities, children and their families had the opportunity to experience the delights of creativity, innovation, designing, making and problem solving. These skills, among many others, define the goals of the District’s STEAM program; and this event serves as a fun way to introduce these concepts to the District’s younger students and their families.

Among the activities at this year’s STEAM Night, “Exploratorium Stations” were robotics activities kite making, catapult physics, guitar making, zipline construction, non-Newtonian goo making and much, much more. Many of these activities were organized and run by Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School STEAM students as well as the school’s award-winning robotics team, the POBots.
