Overview
Kids STEAM Workshops
Kids STEAM Workshops spark curiosity and build confidence through hands-on learning. These engaging programs are recommended for students in 3rd – 8th grade. Kids don’t just watch science happen. They do it!
Each workshop invites participants to explore exciting STEAM topics. Young scientists solve mysteries through forensics. Future chemists experiment with reactions and materials. Budding engineers design, build, and test their own creations. Every session encourages problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork. And there’s always more to discover!
Families can choose between convenient AM or PM sessions. Each workshop runs as a focused, interactive experience led by knowledgeable educators. Kids stay engaged from start to finish.
The program fee includes everything needed for success. All activity materials are provided. Admission to MOSI after the workshop is included, so the learning continues beyond the classroom. Kids can explore exhibits, ask questions, and keep the excitement going.
Adult chaperones are required for children under 13 to ensure a safe and supportive experience.

Kids STEAM Workshop FAQs
Do I need to be a scout to sign up?
No! You do not need to be registered as a scout to join. Workshops are open to any child between grades 3-8
Do I need to attend with my child?
Yes, if your child is under the age of 13 an adult chaperone is required to sign up and attend with them. Only one chaperone is needed per every ten children if you are a leader or parent responsible for multiple children.
Children 13 and older do not need a chaperone for workshops, but must pick up their child immediately following the workshop.
What do I need to bring?
Not much! MOSI provides everything required for the program. Close toed shoes are always recommended in our workshops, and a light jacket for those that get cold in strong AC. Guests are welcome to bring their own snacks that they may eat provided it is safe to do so during the activities.
I missed the registration deadline, what can I do?
