“We are delighted to be part again of the Maryland STEM Festival and bring fun, interactive science learning opportunities to the community,” said MCPL Director Anita Vassallo. “Research shows that early STEM education is an important part of a child’s education that enhances later knowledge, narrows the achievement gap, and provides support for future success in life and school. MCPL has a long history of assisting parents and caregivers in supporting their children to achieve these goals and providing STEM programs in our branches is part of this mission.”
