Using Arts + Science resources, Lark Studio Program Director Kendall Inglese offers a series of Story & STEAM programs collaborating with STEM teachers, and authors for enrichment activities pre-K through grade 5.

Presented outdoors, on Zoom or in the classroom, these Lark Studio programs use themes presented by a science or art teacher and Kendall as co-host, with attendance coordinated by teacher, librarian, or education/recreation staff.
