5 Ways to Use STEAM on the Longest Day of the Year - The Summer Solstice
Do you have plans to celebrate the summer solstice? It's the longest day of the year and the first day of summer. Today I'm going to share with you how you can celebrate with activities that are STEAM or STEM related with your family. That's science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
The summer solstice marks the first day of summer and the longest amount of light in one day of the year. Because the earth is not straight up and down, but tilted almost 25 degrees, the summer solstice in June is actually the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere.

The winter solstice in the northern hemisphere is around December 21.
So here's how to celebrate this event using STEAM learning with your kids. That's, again, science, technology, engineering, art, and math. STEAM used to be STEM, but then...
