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. A one-day annual event, our first STEAM Family Day was hosted at La Brea Tar Pits on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

This year, we widened the scope to include Art (STEAM). STEAM programs 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.
