Harbor Students Embark On Evening STEAM Quest

Seaford Harbor Elementary School students had a magical time exploring math and science during the annual STEAM night on April 3. The event featured hands-on projects and lively demonstrations.  

This year’s theme was “Happily Ever STEAM Night,” as it was a follow-up to the fairy tale-themed literacy night earlier in the year. Students were dazzled during a math magic show that educated students on real-world uses of numbers.  

Students in grades K-2 attended the show while third, fourth and fifth graders visited different STEAM stations in the gym. The two groups then switched halfway through the night. The activities focuses on collaboration, critical thinking and innovation. Students could make mazes out of various materials to help Little Red Riding Hood get through the woods. At Huff, Puff and Build It, the young engineers built houses for the Three Little Pigs and then tested the durability of their creations with a hair dryer.  

There was cup stacking, shadow puppets, a fairy tale costume design station and a spot to design a bridge for the Three Billy Goats Gruff.
