Anne Arundel STEMAZing Saturdays are free events for PreK-12th grade students held the last Saturday of the month. STEM activities, which are highly engaging for learners of all ages, will keep you noticing, wondering, and thinking beyond our time together. Students may participate on their own, but we find it even better for other family members from 4-104 years old to have their own set of materials to join in the STEMAZing fun too! Simply gather the materials listed for this month's STEM explorations and join us on Zoom. Anne Arundel STEMAZing Saturdays will start at 4:00 pm and end at 5:30 pm Eastern time. (Anne Arundel teachers are also welcome to join us!)
REGISTRATION: Have an adult register to receive the Zoom link here: https://bit.ly/STEMAZingSaturdayAnneArundel

#STEMontheCheap MATERIALS: Gather the materials listed below for this month's Anne Arundel STEMAZing Saturday. Materials lists for all events are shown below in case you want to gather supplies for multiple events all at once. Feel free to join even if you can't gather all the materials. You should still be able to participate in at least one of the activities and you can make notes about what to experiment with later. Materials are hyperlinked to examples below. The materials collected do not have to be the exact same items, just similar.
