HOC Academy in partnership with HOC’s Fatherhood Initiative program hosted their 2018 Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) Day on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at our East Deer Park location. STEAM Day is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our current STEAM participants as well as introduce all HOC families to the STEAM programs available through HOC Academy. Additionally, HOC’s Fatherhood Initiative and Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) programs leverage this event to meet and begin a dialogue with prospective program participants. During the event, attendees were able to speak with several HOC Academy programming partners including Mad Science, Inc., Girl Scouts of America and the Maryland Department of Agriculture. There was also a STEAM presentation by the Rockville Robotics team, who will compete in the 2018 STEAM world championship. There were five interactive STEAM stations, a video game truck and each child received a KiwiCo Crate STEAM set to work on at the event and take home. KiwiCo Crates were created to celebrate kids’ natural creativity and curiosity, while helping parents who want to bring enriching experience to their children. More than 80 HOC customers registered and attended the event.
