Things STEAMing Up for Council Rock's District Science Night

It's more important now than ever before that our youth possess the knowledge and skills set to solve problems, make sense of information, and understand how to gather and evaluate evidence to make thoughtful decisions. Young minds need to be challenged and engaged in fun learning opportunities to develop these kinds of abilities in disciplines known as STEAM - science, technology, engineering, arts and math.

This FREE event is made possible by Council Rock teachers and students and sponsorship by Customers Bank through the Council Rock Education Foundation.
