West Elementary School recently hosted a successful Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math Night, STEAM, and every room was filled with energy and enthusiasm for all things STEAM. Students and guests were invited to explore a variety of hands-on activities set up throughout the building. Popular themes included Dot Candy Architecture, Slime Time, Balloon Rocket Racer, and Dash Dash Derby among the many.

The evening brought science to life for participants of all ages. Some memorable highlights included a “Tower to Table” raffle, in which one lucky winner took home hydroponic lettuce grown in the school’s Flex Farm Hydroponic Grow Tower. The Long Beach High School Robotics Team also hosted an exciting demonstration, and high school student volunteers helped run the popular Elephant Toothpaste Station.
