Designed especially for Scouts, DCM STEAM Labs spark curiosity, support open-ended making & tinkering, and promote critical thinking. Each 60-minute lab is facilitated on-site at DCM by an experienced educator. Labs available for Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Lion, Tiger, and Webelos. Time to explore the Museum and supplies are included with every program.
Scouts are empowered to be the primary drivers of their own learning – by building, making, engineering, and tinkering their way through engaging STEAM challenges.
