KCSC STEAM Events
STEAM FUN @ Home & @ School
In the spring of 2021 we were approached by some of our elementary schools looking for ways to provide hands-on STEAM fun for students and their families and the KCSC VIRTUAL STEAM Nights were born. In December 2021 we had our first STEAM Day with Koloa Elementary School.

How to have a KCSC STEAM Event at your school?
CONTACT KCSC
Contact KCSC, email, info@kauaicsc.org or call 808-431-4332 and we can discuss your needs, interests and work on building a plan together.
Make a plan and set a date
KCSC will finalize the plan with school staff and will work on preparing the materials for the for the event, like KCSC Brown Bag activities. This could also involve 3D printing items for students in your school colors or perhaps items to match the activities or theme of the event. In the spring of 2021 we have added coloring contests to our KCSC Virtual STEAM Nights for example.
Event registration through KCSC
KCSC will create an event for your school on their event registration website so that parents from your school can register there. That allows KCSC to stay up to date with the number of folks registering and KCSC will provide the list of participants back to the school ahead of the event.
Drop off of event materials
KCSC will bring all of the materials and the list of people registered to your school the day before the event or at a time that is agreed to. The school will then distribute the materials to the students at their school. With a coloring contest for example, KCSC would deliver the coloring sheets a week before the event and then pick of the completed coloring sheets the day before the event. Winners would be announced at the event.
Have the event
KCSC provides a zoom link to everyone that has registered for the event. KCSC will connect early on zoom with the School Principal or other school lead along with any KCSC Interns calling in to ensure that all of the connections are working and then we will start letting in students about five minutes before the event starts.
After the event
KCSC will provide the school with the results of the mentimeter survey and ensure that all of the event needs are met and completed.
