We cannot wait to kick off this year with our Wind Turbine Build lesson! Kids will learn about where Californians gets their energy, the differences between renewable and non renewable energy sources, and they get to build their very own wind turbines!

Valley STEM has wrapped up our TinkerCAD series! We'll teach you the basics of what CAD is and how to use it. (Spoiler Alert: it's really cool.) At the end, we'll walk you through designing a 3D robot on TinkerCAD! 🤖 Visit the link in our bio to watch the videos.

🎉It’s a party for Valley STEM🎉
Today we welcomed our new volunteers and thanked our veteran volunteers for their work! ❤️ In normal circumstances, this would’ve been in person, but instead we had a blast on zoom playing Pictionary and debating the merits of 10,000 rats🐀
