This past Saturday, the 7th Annual STEAM+C Fair was buzzing with energy as community partners and families came together for a day filled with exploration and creativity! From building challenges to artistic expressions, families engaged in hands-on activities that brought science, technology, engineering, art, and math to life in fun and meaningful ways.

Mothers love their children and this unconditional love is truly tested in I LOVE YOU, STINKY FACE. Lisa McCourt and Cyd Moore beautifully weave a reassuring tale of the love and affection of a parent. The imaginative son turns himself into a meat-eating dinosaur, a swamp creature and much, much more before being satisfied with the fact that no matter how stinky he is or how slimy of a creature he could possibly be, he is loved and nothing will change that.
