BLOOMFIELD, Conn., January 9, 2025— The 4-H Education Center at Auerfarm is offering open enrollment for the afterschool S.T.E.M. Enrichment Club weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30 – 5:30 pm for students in grades K – 6.
The Auerfarm S.T.E.M. Enrichment Club was designed upon the request of local parents seeking more social-emotional opportunities for their children during after-school hours. The S.T.E.M. Enrichment Club will allow children to spend time on the farm expanding their knowledge and understanding of nature, science, agriculture, and the arts by doing STEAM-based, (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) hands-on activities with trained Auerfarm educators. Outdoor learning in a small group setting provides a safe and interactive way to engage learners with varied interests.
During the winter months, the enrichment students delve into the fascinating behaviors of animals and plants in the winter landscape, while also discovering how the farm prepares for spring. Join the Auerfarm S.T.E.M. Enrichment Club for an engaging learning experience that connects students to science, agriculture, and the natural environment.
The Winter session begins on Wednesday, January 9, 2025, and runs for six weeks. Interested families may still enroll after a session has begun at a prorated cost. Spring session begins February 26th. Visit www.auerfarm.org/enrichment-programs/ for more information.
