VIDEO: Chatterton Hosts STEAM Day Filled with Discovery and Creativity

On May 15, Chatterton School hosted its annual STEAM Day, allowing students to explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math through a variety of hands-on activities.

STEAM and sixth-grade teacher James Keenan, along with staff members, helped coordinate the interactive experiences to ensure they were both engaging and educational.

Sixth-grade students took on leadership roles by running activity stations for younger classmates to enjoy. Students also attended an interactive science-themed performance called Mad Science, which added even more excitement and discovery to the day.
