Expedition Live is a virtual program allowing classrooms, organizations, and families to book STEAM experiences. Virtual experiences are guided by a STEAM Team member, which facilitate hands-on explorations for elementary school-aged children. Each program is 50 minutes in length. This opportunity is open to anyone with an Anaheim Public Library card OR an Anaheim organization, school, nonprofit, after school program, etc.
There are two types of expeditions, Book Your Own and Preplanned. See the details below prior to booking a class.
