More than 600 Three Village students, staff and families came together to explore a number of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) topics during an interactive program coordinated by the Three Village STEM Enrichment Foundation Inc.

During the STEM Family Fun Night, attendees visited various stations to explore these concepts in a hands-on way. Participants included Emma S. Clark Memorial Library; Avalon Park and Preserve and the Avalon Skylab; the Long Island Explorium; the Three Village STEM teachers, tech teachers and elementary librarians; the WM robotics team, the Islandbots; the Science Olympiad teams from the district’s secondary school buildings and the Ward Melville Computer Science Club.

The foundation has recently been established as a nonprofit corporation to benefit STEM activities in the Three Village community. Its flagship programs are Science Olympiad and the Ward Melville Iron Patriots robotics team.
