The August 2023 STEAM Activity Calendar is filled with challenges that celebrate the August holidays. While some of us will head back to school in August, some of us won’t be back in school until September. Due to that fact, the September calendar will share Back to School-themed challenges rather than the August 2023 STEAM Activity Calendar.

Downloading the August 2023 STEAM Activities Calendar
The calendar is a PDF. Once you have downloaded, the set you will need to open it with a PDF reader like Acrobat Reader.
Exploring the Activity Calendar
You will be able to access the directions needed to explore each activity when you click on each of the August hyperlinks. After you get to each activity’s blog post, you will find a supply list and step-by-step activity directions.
Many of the activities offer free worksheets or recording sheets. You can use what they have for you to download or create your own versions of the activities if you like. The idea is to inspire you to explore STEAM activities with your children. You know what they can handle and how they like to explore concepts and activities.
A variety of different types of STEAM activities have been included on the calendar. You may find that some are more appropriate for older children while others are great for children of all ages. I think that some of them could be done with a partner or parent. However, some of you may have children that want to complete them on their own.
Books Based on the August Holidays
The book Adventures with Barefoot Critters would be fun to read for National Trail Mix Day. It mentions trail mix as a good snack to have while doing activities outdoors.
A Place for Pluto shares the story of a demoted planet looking to find its place in the universe. It would be great to read on Pluto Demotion Day.
