Lessons and programs are free to use. Implementation of these programs by STEAMwSeniors may require a fee or donation to supplement the cost of materials and the delivery.
We search the internet for the best resources and connect you directly to them. Using these direct links and our own designs, we provide you with a list of suggested STEAM-related activities and lessons to engage your senior community. The idea is to present them to you in a format that is quickly assessable, easy to understand, and quick to implement in your various work contexts. You can use these as you see fit. Check back regularly for updates to all of these sections!
