STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Ms McDermott will give the dads and children a challenge or a problem and they have to solve it by planning and building something. You don't need to bring anything, just come as you are. Ms McDermott won't tell the students what they are building until that day, so no practicing at home!. She is really looking forward to spending time with the parents and their children, building and having fun.
