Ah, mid-November. Lovely fall weather, Halloween shenanigans are firmly behind us, nothing to do but sit back, relax and enjoy Thanksgiving… Oh, snap! Thanksgiving, the harbinger of the holiday season. Not to mention those of us that are attending or have family attending schools of all shapes and flavors will be facing the stress and trauma of midterm exams. On second thought, forget relaxing. Let’s focus instead on blowing off steam, by visiting STEAM.
