Perfect for curious minds eager to learn and explore.
Join us for a STEM program presented by Wow That’s Stem! In this exciting hands-on STEM lesson, students will explore basic physics principles by designing and building their very own mini catapults! Through teamwork and creativity, they'll learn how stored energy, force, angles, and simple machines work together to launch objects through the air. After building and testing, students will analyze their results and optimize their designs, just like real engineers. Grades 3–6 (Ages 8–12).
Paws For Therapy “Read to a Dog”
Join us from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM in the Children’s section of the library. “Paws for Therapy” is a group of volunteers in the Houston area who enjoy sharing their trained therapy dogs with those in need of love and comfort. Reading can be hard, so kids, ages 5-11 can get comfortable and practice their reading skills with a trained therapy dog.
