Welcome to the Summer of STEAM!
For five weeks during the summer holidays, we will be running the Summer of STEAM Programme at Paisley YMCA! Summer of STEAM is funded with thanks to the Renfrewshire Council Summer of Fun Community Programme.
Each week will focus on the letters that make up STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) with fun youth work activity and projects that ensure a creative and educational way to spend your summer! With our tech equipment including PCs, 3D printing, gaming and our collection of arts and crafts materials and activity-based projects; the Summer of STEAM is an ideal occasion for young people in Paisley and Renfrewshire to meet new people, make some unique creations as well as chill out and relax in a welcoming space.
For this summer, our youth club activity will be split by school age groups. The schedule for each week will be;

Snacks will be provided during club time but please bring your own water or juice bottle. If you require any more information, please contact youthwork@paisleyymca.scot.
We can’t wait to see you there!
