STEAM Afterschool Programs: Fueling Curiosity, One Project at a Time

When kids explore with their hands, they build more than projects — they build confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

The Fort Worth Public Library’s STEAM Afterschool Programs introduce children to science, technology, engineering, art, and math through fun, hands-on activities that inspire problem-solving, collaboration, and imaginative play.

From building robots to making slime, every week brings a new opportunity to discover, explore, and grow.

Featured Programs Include:

Bot Builders
Aspiring young engineers in grades 4–8 tackle monthly robotics challenges using LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime kits. Coached by members of the Fort Worth ISD’s Young Women’s Leadership Academy robotics team, students gain foundational coding skills in a fun, supportive environment.

All Aboard the STEAM Train
Kindergarten through 5th-grade students explore a rotating mix of projects, from building skyscrapers to creating colorful art. These weekly sessions make learning playful and approachable.

STEAM Made for Me
Designed for families with children of all ages, this sensory-friendly program offers a calming environment with activity stations focused on touch, sound, sight, and exploration. It’s welcoming, inclusive, and full of discovery.

These programs do more than fill time after school, they ignite passions, strengthen skills, and open doors to future learning. When kids are free to experiment and explore, they become problem-solvers.

With your support, we’re helping the next generation of thinkers, makers, and creators thrive.
