Discover, explore, and engage in critical thinking at Palatine Public Library's free STEAM Fair on Saturday, November 16 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at Palatine Public Library Main Branch, 700 N. North Court, Palatine.
This special event will highlight a variety of subjects that promote critical skills: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math. Learn to code with robots, experience virtual reality, or enjoy many other hands-on activities. Pick up a map with a checklist of exhibitors when you arrive and visit the booths to collect goodie bag items. Drop your completed map in the drawing box for a chance to win a prize like Ozobot Evo, a Dash robot, or a family pass to Kohl Children’s Museum!
