 STEAM Saturday occurred at the Geary County Historical Society Museum this weekend. It was the first one of  the school year.

Museum officials reported that more than 70 people visited the museum to take part in STEAM Saturday: Archaeology and Artifacts. Activities included "excavating" chocolate chip cookies for chocolate chips and exploring archaeological "dig boxes." Some of the dig boxes contained Geary County artifacts like small glass bottles and arrowheads, while others held broken pottery that needed to be reconstructed. 

STEAM Saturday is a monthly activity day held the third Thursday of the month at the Geary County Historical Society with revolving topics that relate to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). Activities are meant for visitors of all ages and while donations are always appreciated, the programs are free.
