There was a full house for Tuesday night’s STEAM Night at Bowie Intermediate School. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. Along with color art exhibits there were interactive experiments that explored all sorts of science concepts such as velocity with a sledge hammer and the impact of alcohol on a person if they wear the beer goggles. Below are some of the images from STEAM Night. (photos by Barbara Green)
