August is the time when summer heats up and also winds down, so it is no surprise that it is the home to many holidays based on enjoying the beach and all it has to offer. There's Sandcastle Day (August 2), S'mores Day (August 10), Play in the Sand Day (August 11), and National Beach Day (August 30). With events like World Wide Web Day (August 1) and Professional Engineers Day (August 6), August is also a time to celebrate days devoted to important STEAM concepts.
