Soar into a world of imagination and discovery with our STEM Storytime featuring The Story of Kites (风筝的故事) by Ying Chang Compestine! This engaging event introduces young learners (ages 2–6) to the history and science of kites, blending storytelling, cultural exploration, and hands-on fun.
Children will hear the enchanting tale of how kites were first invented in China, learning Mandarin words like 风筝 (fēngzhēng – kite) and 风 (fēng – wind). After the story, they’ll design and decorate their own mini kites using colorful materials, guided by simple STEM principles about how kites fly.
This 30-minute program is perfect for curious young minds and their families. Join us for a playful journey into the skies and celebrate the intersection of culture, engineering, and art!
