Students are welcome to share any STEM related project! Perhaps it was a simple experiment they did at home, something they unexpectedly discovered, or a project the whole class conducted, or some observations they made over time... they are taking their first steps as scientists! This expo gives students an opportunity to share their explorations on a public platform for family, peers, and members of the community to learn what our young keiki are interested in.

Delaware Libraries Grab & Go STEM: Paper Merry-go-round,
Delaware Libraries
The Paper Merry-Go-Round Project is a hands-on craft that combines creativity, engineering, and decoration to make a miniature spinning carousel. Using paper cups as the base, participants construct a circular “platform” with a central pivot that allows the cups or seats to rotate like a real merry-go-round. The craft can be personalized with colors, patterns, and embellishments to mimic animals, fairground rides, or whimsical designs.
