This Week's Steam Workshops (7/9/24)

This week was an exciting week at Mathnasium! First, students worked with Anthony to construct Mathnasium city. Come check it out in the center! Afterwards, they worked with a firefighter on fire safety and how different color fires are created. And last, students ended the week with a Mathnasium favorite - Slime! This year, students could choose between making colored slime, cloud slime, and magnetic slime! Next week, we get to meet 2 more local experts!
