Third Annual STEAM in the Park Sparked Kids’ Interests

“The main purpose of holding our annual STEAM in the Park is to spark the interest within young population throughout Orange County and inspire them in STEAM,” said STEAM for All VP of Communications and STEAM in the Park Lead Organizer Cynthia Qi.
With activities geared towards a younger audience, a lot of kids had a great time exploring different ideas in science, engineering, and other STEAM fields. “The Rubik’s Cube activity was my favorite because I got to try and do it and I was able to learn some steps to finish the cube. I also liked using glue and salt to create a cool painting,” said third grade participant Karina Jadhav.

“It is truly inspiring to see the smiles on our participants’ faces. Throughout the school year, STEAM for All will be hosting weekly fun nights including similar and more engaging activities from STEAM in the Park,” said Qi.
STEAM for All Hosted the Last Summer Fun of the Year
OC Math Circle held its first Summer Fun event of the school year on Saturday, August 18, 2018.
One room featured lofty Jenga structures that kept students on edge while each participant gingerly removed blocks without knocking over the towers. Other rooms gave students the choice to choose between a wide variety of fun activities, including Mancala, Connect 4, and Speed. At the conclusion of the event, all participants had engaged in thought-provoking rounds of chess, wrestled with mind games in Chameleon and Mattix, and competed against each other in blazing rounds of 24.
Overall, we had a blast at our first Math Fun Night. OC Math Circle hopes to bring new games each month to refresh the minds of participants with new intuitive games to train their math skills.
