Tamarac offers free hands-on STEM night to spark curiosity in young learners
Tamarac, Florida – Families in Tamarac will soon have a new chance to teach young kids about science and new ideas through a free, hands-on STEM experience. On Wednesday, January 14, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., there will be a special Introduction to STEM Station at Tamarac Park, located at 7501 N. University Drive.
The goal of the one-hour workshop is to give kids a fun first look at science, technology, engineering, and math via hands-on activities. Organizers state that the program is about being creative, solving problems, and being curious. It is a friendly place for students who are just starting to learn about STEM issues. The program is for young people and adolescents and doesn’t require any previous experience.
Participants may expect a fun and friendly introduction that encourages them to ask questions and explore with their hands. The goal is to help kids feel more confident of themselves while learning how STEM ideas relate to real life. The point of the activity wants to get people interested, not overwhelm them, by making the activities simple and fun.
You have to sign up for this free initial class, and there isn’t much room. Families should use the QR code given to them to sign up ahead of time to guarantee a spot. The organizers say that demand is likely to be high because there aren’t many spaces available.

If you like the introductory class, there will be continued STEM workshops starting on the first Wednesday in February. These follow-up seminars will be held in four-week sessions, and locals will pay $60 and non-residents would pay $70.
The introduction in January is a sneak peek at what the lengthier program will offer, allowing families an opportunity to assess if the sessions are a suitable match.
