The school year has more days off. What can kids do? Come to the S.C. Botanical Garden for Circular STEM Days! Kids will explore nature and discover its genius and inspiration. After seeing nature up-close in the garden, they will create and build things that eliminate waste and pollution, use materials in new ways, and regenerate nature.  Program is designed for 3rd-8th graders. (We are no longer accepting new registrations from children below 3rd grade). Please register 2 days in advance of the desired program date.
