STEAM Programs

Building on the success of the Girls in STEM program, and our commitment to expanding STEM-based programs, we are excited to introduce STEAM Family Day 2026. This one-day event will be hosted at the museum at La Brea Tar Pits on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

This year we are widening the scope to include Art (STEAM) and will continue to be an opportunity for youth ages 8-18 and their families to engage in hands-on activities, explore future career paths, and engage in a resource fair and panel discussions.

Come back for more information and updates on this event.
