Smith STEAM Academy families recently teamed up for an exciting STEAM challenge—reimagining everyday items to invent solutions to real-world problems! 💡

From noise-canceling headgear to a non-slip water bottle holder and a mini foosball table, STEAM families experienced the productive struggle and transformed their ideas into prototypes. The evening was filled with creativity, collaboration, smiles, and joy as great ideas bloomed.
