SHERBURNE — The Chenango County 4-H is offering an after school science and nature program at the Sherburne Public Library.

The program is STEM based, focusing on nature and hands-on learning for ages 8 and up. It will take place from 3:30 to 4 p.m., on the fourth Monday of every month, downstairs, at the Sherburne Public Library, located at 2 East Street.

STEM study is a teaching approach that combines science, technology, engineering, and math.

“The after-school program has been offered for about 4 years now, and you don't have to be in 4-H to join,” said 4-H Educator Erica Clark.
