STEAM Adventures: Expedition Live!
After school providers, parents, teachers, and others can now book hands-on virtual STEAM programs for elementary-age kids on Zoom!

While our in-person library programs are on hold, we continue to expand our STEAM programs safely online. 

Participants will be guided by a STEAM team member and will learn about fun subjects like coding, watercolors, space, and more.

Adults must select one program from the seasonal catalog, click the "Book a Class" button and arrange to pick-up program supplies from Anaheim Central Library (500 W. Broadway). Some programs may have materials that need to be returned.

Expedition Live is offered Monday through Friday, between 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and is dependent on staff availability. 

Whether it's diving into a new book or developing new skills, the library sparks meaningful ways to explore new things together - click the button below to learn more!

STEAM Adventures: Expedition Live, along with STEAM on the Go! circulating kits, and the STEAM Adventures: Exploration on Wheels (van) are funded by California State Library, Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim, Friends of the Anaheim Public Library, Anaheim Public Library Foundation, Achim Hanefesh (Brotherhood Social Justice), NASA @ My Library, Space Science Institute, and the Nevada Mineral and Book Company.
