Manhasset Students Go Full STEAM Ahead This Summer

Students in grades K-6 from the Manhasset Public Schools kept their minds and bodies active this summer through STEAM Camp, sponsored by SCOPE Education Services. Held at Munsey Park Elementary School, students had the option to attend one week, two weeks or all three weeks of the summer enrichment program from July 17 to Aug. 4. The half-day camp ran five days a week from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and contained interactive activities for all students. Those enrolled in grades K-2, participated in baking and chocolate-making, nature science, robotics, storybook cooking, storybook STEM and watercolor painting.

Students in grades 3-6 engaged in artificial intelligence coding, canvas painting, chocolateering, comic book and graphic novel design, video game design and movie making, short circuit robotics and rocketry, and pottery. All students also participated in edible science, origami and crafts, sculpting and sports.

These hands-on experiences encouraged collaboration, creativity and problem solving. The program was also a great way for the Manhasset students to make new friends and learn something new during the summer break.
