Schedule and Locations
The CSULB STEM Mobile Makers project currently offers programming at several local libraries. Programs last between one hour and 90 minutes and welcome youth grades 3-5 and grades 6-8.
We recognize that kids of different ages have different developmental and social needs. As such, we tend to group them with peers of the same age, if possible.
