University of Illinois Extension Bureau County 4-H and Tiskilwa Public Library have forged a partnership to offer take home STEAM kits for youth ages 8-18.  Kits feature a monthly activity focused on learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, or Math.  There is no cost to participate.    

Kits may be picked up at the Tiskilwa Public Library during their hours of operation Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. or Wednesday 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

“Bureau County 4-H is always looking for new ways to reach our area youth and we are excited to build this partnership for the Tiskilwa community,” shared Danielle Gapinski, Bureau County 4-H and Youth Development Program Coordinator.
