We recently held a STEM day and it was a huge success thanks to who brought their first Lego League Kits for our youth to build and program their own robots. After lunch we then moved onto to several STEM activities including making slime, building a balloon race car, creating glue suncatchers and also learning how to code a maze with Lego pieces.
