STEAM Enrichment for Homeschoolers

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever for children to engage in hands-on, meaningful learning experiences, especially in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). For homeschooling families, finding innovative and interactive ways to bring these subjects to life can be a challenge. That’s why we are creating a solution!
At After the Peanut, we understand the unique needs of homeschoolers and are committed to providing engaging, hands-on STEAM experiences that spark curiosity and foster creativity. Our programs will be designed to inspire young minds by blending fun with learning, giving students the chance to explore, experiment, and build confidence in their problem-solving skills. Whether it’s building their own inventions, conducting exciting science experiments, or diving into the world of art and engineering, we make STEAM accessible and enjoyable for every learner.
We will begin our STEAM Club for Homeschoolers in January of 2025. Be a part of the development by completing the survey found here.
