The August 2024 STEAM activities calendar is part of a series of monthly calendars that feature STEAM activities, monthly holidays, and themes. This month’s calendar features activities that mostly explore August holidays.
If you are looking for Back to School STEAM challenges, they appear on the September calendar. School starts at many different times. Some schools start in August and others after Labor Day. Rather than focus on school too early those activities have been saved until most of us are back in school.

Exploring the STEAM Activities Calendar
You can 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 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 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.
