As our summer blog series, “STEAM Adventure Island,” comes to an end, we reflect on the incredible journey we’ve taken with Mia, Liam, Sara, Zoe, and Jay. Through their adventures, we’ve explored the wonders of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) and discovered the magic of learning through play and exploration.
