Homeschool Inspired by Space
Sep 19 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

The PlayHouse offers STEAM Homeschool classes at the Bonnie Noble Center in which students explore topics and activities related to science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.

Join us this fall on the third Thursday of each month at the Noble Center to explore Outer Space!

Inspired by Space and powered by STEAM, we will review the central concepts of the Galaxy and use our time in the maker space to create, imagine, and explore the many possibilities that arise when outer Space is our teacher.

This program is for school-aged children between the ages of 4 and 12.

Advance registration is required. Register Here.
