We are touching base with you to see what STEM activities, classes, workshops, tours/presentations, professional development, outreach activities or inventory needs that you have interest in. Please let me know what you want and when. We are happy to help!
Not sure, review the link below. Still not sure, just call us or write by leaving a reply at the bottom of this page. If you are interested in something not listed on the website below, please ask. If you already have something in mind and its not listed, just ask. We have almost three quarters of a million in inventory and that much inventory goes towards more activities than we can actually list. In fact, just in the last year we have received a lot of new curriculum and inventory in the domains of engineering and electronics with a wide variety of themes and at all grade levels.
If you are wondering whether the curriculum offerings are aligned to standards? No worries, we use curriculum from the curriculum developers you trust: MIT, NASA, 4H, Teach Engineering, etc.
How about Professional Development for certified educators and informal educators? We are continuously incorporating various ways for you to receive professional development in ways that are convenient and effective. As an example, the following have online PD:
- Journey to Mars and Aeronautics along with 37 other activities including NASA GLOBE,
- Kites,
- Pumpkin Drop,
- Makerbot,
- Wearable Tech,
- Rube Goldberg Inventions,
- and a variety of STEM challenges that include; but, are not limited to drones and robots.
Your students and K-12 youth participants will enjoy building things that operate in the air, on the land and in the water. And don’t forget about Starlab! No matter how our PD takes place, whether through digital badges or certificates of completion we support that learning with the accompanying inventory.
Why put your entire budget in inventory when we can help?
