Plainview-Old Bethpage Celebrates the Joys of STEAM

Hundreds of families and children of all ages filled Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School on March 19 for the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District’s annual STEAM Night, a celebration of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The event featured 28 interactive activities designed to spark creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills.

Attendees explored a wide range of hands-on projects, including robotics, catapult physics, kite making and zipline construction. High school students led many of the activities, including guitar building and non-Newtonian "goo" experiments, offering younger learners a glimpse into the exciting possibilities of STEAM education.

"Our District has long prided itself on its robust STEAM curriculum," said Dr. Joyce Barry, Chairperson of Science, Research, and Engineering. "By giving our Plainview families a glimpse of what this vital field offers, we hope to inspire the next generation of innovators."
