The East Pottawattamie County 4-H program offered “STEM Kids” after school program on Wednesday’s in February from 3:00 – 4:30pm at the Carson Fire Station Meeting Room for all 4th grade youth.  11 excited youth spent Wednesday afternoons leaning about science, technology, engineering and math through hands on activities, teamwork and experiments.  Throughout the month of February, youth learned about the engineering design process by making their own “machines” to move and sort candy; force and energy through making their own roller coasters with loops and hills out of pool noodles; did experiments with popcorn, and learned why bubbles are round along with different bubble experiments.

The Cooking with Kids Afterschool program is being offered to 4th graders attending the AHSTW Schools on Tuesday’s during the month of March.
