Kirkwood STEAMFest and St. Louis Science Fair

Students in grades Kindergarten through 12 are invited to share and celebrate their STEAM projects. Learn more about Kirkwood STEAMFest and the St. Louis Science Fair here.
Westchester VEX Club
Robotics is not only the future, it is also the present. The Westchester VEX club provides 4th and 5th grade students with an opportunity to learn how to program, work with sensors, and hone the critical thinking skills they will need to succeed in both the 21st century workforce and everyday life. Beyond learning math, science and engineering principles, VEX Robotics solutions encourage creativity, teamwork, leadership, passion, and problem-solving in groups. Our hope is to have at least two teams, and maybe more depending on interest and availability of parent volunteers.
