Starry Night

Get kids excited about science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) with this fun hands-on collaborative project. Typically done during a Family Math Night event, this project can also be done in the classroom. The best part is, each person is individually represented in the final product!

Participants will create and name their own constellation which will be added to a collaborative night sky. If using glow-in-the-dark stickers, participants will get to find their constellation in the night sky.
