About STEM For Kids®
On a hot Raleigh summer day, a mom and her two children, ages 5 and 6, began “engineering fun with math and science” making paper bridges. Their first design couldn’t even hold one pencil. As they kept working on it, they came to a design where that same single piece of paper could now hold 20 pencils and it was still holding strong!
This mom is the first female engineer from her community. In her quest to solve global challenges, she had been contributing to design, manufacturing and sales of wireless, satellite and internet technologies in corporate America.
Inspired by the big sparkles in her children's eyes, as they made a meaningful connection with learning, the mom decided to immerse in the mission to bring the excitement of science and engineering careers to children.
Moni Singh, aka Ms. STEM, developed STEM For Kids®, an educational system, that has been enabling schools, entrepreneurs, teachers and educators globally to bring innovative STEM / STEAM curriculum into their classrooms since 2011.
With a growing network of STEM For Kids® operators, franchisees and trained teachers making STEM fun and real in various communities across 6 countries, STEM For Kids® ranked #173 on the highly coveted Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 list.
The STEM For Kids® curriculum has now evolved to over 40 different courses (in various themes covering engineering - aerospace, civil, mechanical, environmental, bio-medicine, technology - coding, robots, Artificial Intelligence, Internet Of Things, business and finance). Used by thousands of educators, the courses have impacted millions worldwide.
Generation Alpha kids continue the fun-filled STEM learning experiences, like Singh’s now 3rd grader (yes! her third child),
