ATLANTIC CITY — The next generation of inventors, engineers, and problem-solvers took center stage at the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City’s STEAM Fair, held March 25 at Drexel Club and March 27 at Chelsea Club.
The two-day event showcased the creativity and critical thinking skills of club members engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) programs.
From robot coding to wind turbines and petri dish experiments, the fair was a hands-on celebration of innovation.
Attendees were captivated by projects such as a transformer-style robot with spinning wheels, a Lego-built Venus flytrap designed to “catch” objects, and a robotic dog that moved like a real pet. Club members enthusiastically explained their work, demonstrating the problem-solving and technical skills they’ve developed in the Club’s STEAM Lab.
“This wasn’t just an opportunity to show off what they’ve learned—it was a moment of pride for our students,” said Mia Williams, STEAM coordinator at the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City. “They didn’t just build projects; they built confidence, resilience, and a belief in their ability to shape the future.”
The STEAM Lab provides club members with access to cutting-edge technology and hands-on learning experiences designed to foster curiosity and critical thinking. With the support of donors and the community, the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City continues to expand these opportunities, ensuring that students are not only prepared for the future but ready to innovate and lead.
The Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City is a nonprofit organization that has been providing a safe and nurturing environment for the youth of Atlantic City for over 50 years.
