Interactive STREAM Studio is back! Purdue Extension 4-H & JCPL are hosting an Interactive STREAM Studio! Students in grades 3-6 can learn about science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and math through a hands-on progress of making. We will be exploring computer science, money, science and math in art and cooking, and more!  The event is free and all students attending any school in Jay County are welcome to attend. STREAM Studio students will come on either the 1st or 2nd Wednesdays of each month from 3:00-4:30 p.m., and students may sign up for their school’s session online. Space is limited. A bus from Jay Schools will be available, but children will need to be picked up from the library. There will also be both plugged and unplugged activities to teach pattern recognition, algorithms, and other scientific and computational thinking processes. Students who have a Jay County Public Library card or a Dunkirk Public Library card are encouraged to bring it each week to check out library materials. *Please be aware we will be using valuable equipment. Appropriate conduct is a must! Your child can be dismissed from the program if failure to follow the rules occurs. *It is recommended students bring a Chromebook or other personal device. Sign up information will be available at the library. Please complete and turn in registration by October 1 to Purdue Extension. Please direct questions to Allison Keen at 260-726-4707 or [email protected]. You may also contact the library at 260-726-7890 with questions.
