Join us for STEM Time as we perform experiments together!  Love STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)?  Fall is here and as the autumn coolness comes to our city, the leaves on the trees will start changing color.  It’s the perfect time to learn the science behind that change and understand the science of trees.  We’ll collect leaves, chart their differences, and perform experiments to understand how trees transform.
