STEAM On Wheels

Full steam ahead!  The STEAM on Wheels bus is coming to the Geneseo Public Library!  Students aged 7 to 12 years are encouraged to come to the Geneseo Public Library for a non-traditional and entertaining hour of hands-on activities that could include laser-cut art projects, creative building challenges using tools like 3D pens, or working with large collaborative puzzles.  These activities are designed to spark curiosity, creativity and problem-solving.

STEAM on Wheels is a volunteer-based non-profit where science, technology, engineering, and mathematics meet with art to form a unique experience that enriches students and helps them learn concepts in a joyful environment.  Their goal is to provide students with learning opportunities that may not be available in a traditional classroom.  They do this by exposing students to educational science experiments, hands-on projects, and interactions with volunteers in the STEAM field. 

They believe that through hands-on activities they can “teach students by example” and reinforce concepts and enable long-term retention. They try to uplift underprivileged students through outreach and scholarship programs.

“At STEAM On Wheels, we are dedicated to introducing children to engaging subject matter that will one day encourage them to become inventors, scientists, innovators, and future leaders.  Many students are not able to find the motivation to pursue further study in their regular education—particularly outside of the usual pathways.  We hope to change the thinking of young people to open up greater possibilities and let them know how much power and influence they can cultivate through education and application of knowledge,” said STEAM On Wheels founder and Executive Director Samuel McCullum.  McCullum has a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Technology and a Master’s Degree in Community and Economic Development. 

“Our vision is to bring courage and innovation to every participant worldwide, allowing them to become the next pacesetters and visionaries who are able to stand out amongst their peers in the 21st century marketplace…we hope to change the thinking of young people to open up greater possibilities and let them know how much power and influence they can cultivate through education and application of knowledge.”
