STEMin @Home Activities – Easy Experiments you can do from home!

In the summer of 2020, we came up with STEM activities and videos youth could watch and participate in at home.  Check out these fun, random, but thrilling activities we came up with to keep us STEMin during COVID! Check out our YouTube page for walk through videos that demo these and other fun projects!

ViralCycles – A Study of Viruses!

With recent events, our STEM team thought it might be useful to have a series of lessons devoted to youth learning about viruses and how a single virus can cause so much upheaval.  This 6 lesson series was developed by Dr. Barbara Shaw with Colorado State University and discusses everything from size, infections rates, and personal protection.  Use the videos to help youth walk through the lessons and learn how to stay safe and healthy!

Still Need More STEM Ideas?

We are always on the lookout for interesting STEM (or STEAM!) themed lessons!  See our listing below of short, easy to follow lessons that we have incorporated into youth learning!
