Opportunities and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are all around us. Students will explore customs and cultures near and far as they learn how STEM helps shape and influence the world.
Who:
Created with 6th-8th graders in mind, activities could be adapted for a younger audience.
Anticipated Supply Cost:
The lessons and curricula linked are FREE to use. Materials to implement the curriculum are the responsibility of the user. You can expect to spend approximately $50-$60 per student on materials.
