Kids and families can do hands on Science-Technology-Engineering-Art-Math (STEAM) activities with Westminster University scientists on the 1st Saturday of the month.

Stop by the spectrUM Discovery Area on Level Two Tuesday through Saturday to explore a guided science activity.

Build your own unique Lego creations! No registration required. All ages and abilities welcome.

Build with us! LEGO® blocks encourage children to explore 3D design, creativity, and develop fine motor and social skills. All ages and abilities are welcome. For special accommodations, please contact the library with 72 hours notice.

FIRST LEGO League guides youth through STEM learning and exploration at an early age. From Discover, to Explore, and then to Challenge, students will understand the basics of STEM and apply their skills in an exciting competition while building habits of learning, confidence, and teamwork skills along the way.

YOUR imagination + OUR really cool building stuff = FUN! An immersive Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, Math experience for children.

Tinker Club is a FREE opportunity for children ages 5-6 and their adult caregivers to take a deeper dive into the topics of making and engineering in McWane’s Tinker Shop. Tinker Club allows participants to work with more complex tools and materials, teaches the steps of the design process, and encourages caregiver/child engagement through fun and creative projects. Registration is required.

Welcome to the iSTEAM VEX AI workshop during National Robotics Week. We will discuss the general info about the VEX AI system and VEX AI competition. Come to join us.

The Kenyan K. Beals Community Robotics Center is a joint project between Hawaii Science and Technology Museum and Mokupāpapa Discovery center. We’ve partnered to introduce new students to robotics as well as offer lab and practice space to local teams. Through KKBCRC we offer the VEX VRC and VEX IQ platforms as well as MATE ROV underwater robotics. Located on the top floor of 76 Kamehameha Ave, this STEM education center is a place to share the love of robotics with students and help new teams and coaches get started with the resources and information they need. Come visit us every Saturday from 10am-2pm!

The Little STEAMers Preschool is based on the Montessori principles that children learn best when they are given the freedom to move, to choose their own work, and follow their interests, operating within boundaries that include respect for themselves, others, and their environment. In Little STEAMers Preschool students learn through guided exploration and build skills with independent hands-on learning. Using Montessori methods, our teachers progress students’ exploration skills and use a complete preschool curriculum to develop students’ understanding of STEM concepts (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and communication (language arts & literacy).
