Bringing STEM Learning Home During Social Distancing
Repost from the Afterschool Snack
These are difficult times for so many of our young people and their families. With school closures impacting families across the country, and extracurricular activities put on hold, finding ways for students to stay busy and engaged is likely at the top of mind for parents and guardians. We’ve put together a list of some of our favorite STEM activities and curriculum to help keep both students and adults engaged during these times. We’ve broken our list out into different topics areas, ranging from tinkering and engineering that can be done inside, to citizen science activities that allow young people to engage directly in scientific inquiry and research.
