Let's get ready for BACK TO SCHOOL by spending the last few weeks of summer engaging our minds with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) activities. We have partnered with Zaniac in Jersey City to bring you some fun and educational STEAM activities to help get your kids back in the swing of school.Ā Zaniac is the go-to after school and summer camp STEAM-enrichment center for parents who want to give their children an academic edge and 21 st century skills for a better future. Kids experience STEAM exploration and discover how much fun learning can be in Zaniacās high-tech environment filled with friends.
