Eco-STEAM invites curious minds to engage with the natural world around them through hands-on creative projects. They’ll discover how the sun powers our planet, experiment with art and science, and investigate nature—using all their senses.

Over five discovery-filled days, young creators will:

Explore texture, build with natural materials, and create tactile art.

Play with sound mapping—and turn the sounds of nature into artwork.

Make plant-based crafts using herbs.

Design kinetic sculptures powered by the wind.

Craft musical instruments from natural materials and compose music.

Experiment and cook delicious, nature-based recipes.

Share their discoveries in an interactive exhibit—where science, nature, and art meet.

Through creative play and collaboration, kids will forge lasting friendships. Along the way, they’ll discover new passions and gain essential life skills. No experience needed—just a love for exploring. Watch their world expand!

This is a small group program. Space is limited.

Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror

“Here is where finally opposites come together, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the depth, metal the mirror. They do not conflict…” —Isamu Noguchi While the renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) is best known for his work in stone, he consistently explored new materials and methods during his wide-ranging career. He first experimented with aluminum in the 1950s and later with galvanized steel, creating a series of twenty-six sculptures in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1982–83.…
