STEAM Lab Fridays

Two children working with tools at The Wilder School, a tech-enriched, Montessori-inspired private micro-school
 

Join The Wilder School for an afternoon of STEAM projects in our new STEAM Lab. Projects will vary and will offer children the opportunity to innovate, tinker, craft, mold, and experiment. Through materials ranging from paint and brushes, wood and hammer/nails, through to hot glue, wires, small motors, and recycled materials, children will be empowered to create solutions not only for today's problems, but for issues that have yet to arise.

Check Out Our Lab Days!

Our Lab was made possible through a grant from VELA Education Fund but is powered by the contributions of families like yours! We are seeking contributions of the materials listed below on an ongoing basis. If you have any of these, please drop them in the bin outside our front door or bring them to a STEAM Lab Friday.
