Homeschool Hangouts will be additional programs held outside of our typical Homeschool Workshop sessions. The Hangout topics and activities will differ and provide a more advanced approach to new topics while providing fun, hands-on S.T.E.A.M. education to supplement your family's homeschool curriculum!
