Hosted by the Chilton Public Library and Chilton Public School Libraries, the event offers a variety of interactive activities exploring science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM).

This free event will provide hands-on experiments, educational booths, and live demonstrations that highlight the importance of STEAM in everyday life, offering families and individuals an enriching opportunity to discover new interests and skills.
