Mondays in July at Salina Library are all about STEAM, otherwise known as science, technology, engineering, art and math. These programs are designed to give kids ages 8-12 exciting, hands-on experiences that help develop problem solving and creativity. This summer, our four Tween STEAM topics involve rockets, computer programming, space exploration, and a bit of physics. Please register in advance.
