Well-being and STEAM: Perfect Together – VIRTUAL

Please note: This training is intended for participants who have completed Prime Time’s STEAM or Well-being and Life Skills training cohorts.

Relating in a skillful way within human interactions and to the world around us is a common thread in both well-being and STEAM activities. This training is geared for afterschool programs that are interested in bringing STEAM, well-being and life skill-building to the next level during out-of-school time.
