The Children’s Museum will collaborate with six Hartford Public Library branches, three Hartford Family Centers, and the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center to provide  hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics  (STEAM) - based programs to over 1,000  local 3 to 14-year old children and their care givers. Program design and development will include planning for  field trips to the museum.  All participants will be given age-specific, supplemental STEAM materials to continue their learning activities at home, and families can attend more than one week of library programs, or more than three Saturdays of family center programs.  The goal will be to help urban Hartford youths find new pathways toward responsible citizenry and fiscal stability.
