See some photos from the STEM night where students and their families did hands on activities on April 20.

RADNOR, PA – More than 500 Radnor Township School District students and their families headed to the Radnor Middle School last week for the district's third annual Elementary STEM Night. Students and their families gathered at the school to partake in hands-on activities that illuminated the topics of science technology, engineering, and math.

Students and parents donned lab coats and gloves like real life scientists to engage in 35 different STEM activities.

Participants worked with district staff members and students, district parents and local professionals to get their hands dirty with the many STEM activities including dissections, as seen above where Radnor Elementary School kindergartner Cayleb Tate dissects a cow’s eyeball during the "Eye Doctor Dissection."
