STEAM-ing along in a spooky way

Five students code small robots on a table under the guidance of a teacher

The Thomas O’Brien Academy of Science and Technology (TOAST) community turned out in droves Thursday for a spooky, STEAM-themed evening!

STEAM is short for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. Thursday's fun began with “trunk” or treating, and costumed students scored tasty treats from dozens of cars in the parking lot that were decorated by staff and parents. An hour later, everyone moved into the gym for a STEAM extravaganza where kids could fly drones, play with snakes and other creepy crawlies, stargaze in an inflatable planetarium, use their engineering skills to build, code robots and so much more!

Thanks to staff, families and community partners who helped make the evening a success!
