Summary
District staff told the board that STEAM Night at Bayshore Middle School featured 22 hands‑on activities, 19 teachers and 111 student volunteers, community partners (including Northwell Health and the Suffolk County K‑9 unit), and attracted 1,031 attendees.
A district presenter reviewed STEAM Night for the board, describing a free‑flowing, family‑friendly event at Bayshore Middle School that the presenter said included 22 activities and took over multiple hallways, cafeterias and gymnasiums. High school and middle school student volunteers staffed stations that introduced younger students to hands‑on science and engineering demonstrations.
Highlights the presenter listed included dry ice and liquid nitrogen demonstrations, a spy lab with invisible ink, a fingerprint analysis activity run by forensic students, hovercraft and boat‑building challenges, drone demonstrations and a mechanical robotics display. Community partners on site included the Bayshore Bright Waters Rescue Ambulance, Northwell Health’s lab department, the Suffolk County canine unit and Quogue Wildlife Refuge.
The presenter told the board that 19 teachers and 111 student volunteers supported the night and that final attendance was 1,031 people from the community — a steady increase from prior years when the event was smaller. The presenter thanked buildings and grounds, custodial staff, security, transportation and a large planning committee for logistics and grant assistance.
Board members praised the collaborative, hands‑on nature of the event and encouraged continuing community partnerships for STEM outreach. The district said it plans to hold STEAM Night again and to refine logistics as the program grows.
