Join the Brodsky Summer Reading Club for “Full STEAM Ahead: Where STEAM* and Literacy Come Together,” an educational summer program for kids entering pre-K through 5th grade. At the first event on Thursday, June 16, kids will construct their own catapult, build a house or a skyscraper and design a bug and make it move! A visit from the ice cream truck will round out the sweet day.

Each week, new at-home activities will be released. Complete the activities and upload your results to the Facebook page with hashtags #BuildDesignRead, #JSTEAM and #FullSTEAMahead for a chance to win additional prizes.

Then, save the date for STEAM activities focused on Israeli inventions on Wednesday, July 27. Kids will experiment with ice, create their own snow cones and hear stories of incredible Israelis.

Are you a PJ Library family? Come check out these events to experience STEAM activities related to your PJ Library favorites! If you have kids between the ages of six months and 11 years and haven’t registered for your free books, go to PJLibrary.org.
