Frequently Asked Questions
How can I create the best STEM / STEAM experience for my students?
Strive to make the experience fun and real. Making it fun keeps the course engaging for the children and allows to develop an intrinsic motivation towards learning. Making it real, helps children with the "so what"... why should they learn a science, technology or engineering concept, why is it relevant, where is it applied, what career pathway can that get them into... Also, keeping it real, allows you to boost the parents' confidence that their children are actually learning something of value, something that can get them into a real career.
What are some good STEM activities?
Start by thinking about your learning objective. If your goal is to just have a "filler" activity, you can do a simple Google search to find an activity. However, to achieve a learning goal consistently, you need a well thought out structured set of lessons. So, we recommend start with the "What"... the learning objectives and then interlace the activities to achieve that end goal while bringing in real-world career connections, applications, cross-connecting concepts along with the life skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.
Why are life skills important to be incorporated into STEM learning?
We live in a world where anything that can be automated is being automated... the use of robots and Artificial Intelligence is just beginning. Due to that trend, the life skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, resilience, problem solving are becoming even more important when businesses make hiring decisions. You see, they wan to hire more for that human touch because repeatable tasks can be easily automated. Since, STEM learning is very hands-on, project-based and problem-based, it provides the right foundation to provide children relevant experiences with these life skills. With more practice, children can develop these skills early on.
How do you incorporate life skills into STEM activities?
Great question! There are multitude of ways in which you can help children practice these life skills in a safe, protected and controlled environment. Here are a few ways:
1. Present an exercise as a real-life problem. For example, if you are working on a simple building project, add in a money constraint. They only have a limited money to "buy" materials to build their project. This budgeting not only adds mathematical practice but also helps children use creative and critical thinking in prudently using their money in coming up with their design projects.
2. In collaborative projects, have children take roles like project manager, engineer, etc. This helps children learn about real world team play with roles and responsibilities.
3. Create various avenues for children to express their thoughts and ideas. Simple meta-cognition exercises like reflecting on an activity and having children present their learning helps develop their communication skills.
In our courses, you will find such and many more ways to bring learning alive with real life skills.
How many classes can I conduct using a themed STEM course?
Our courses cover about 30 - 35 hours of instruction. The number of class sessions that you can conduct will depend on the duration of each session. Typically, there is enough content to run a year-long program for your students. To give you an idea, a typical offering is an afterschool program that you can provide once a week for an entire school year. That afterschool program will use about 30-35 hours of instructional content during the school year.
Can I offer online classes, in-person classes or hybrid / blended classes?
Yes, many of our course themes can be offered online or as blended classes. It depends upon the type of theme you select. Once you have selected a theme that can be offered online, it's up to your discretion on how you offer your classes. As an independent STEM educator or a business owner, you make the decision that's best for you on doing online classes, in-person classes or blended classes for your students.
How does the curriculum training work?
After you make the purchase, you will setup your access to our online, self-paced, available at your finger tips virtual training. Typically, educators spend about 4 to 10 hours in training. We recommend that during your training, plan to get hands-on - pause the training and follow-along the content doing it by yourself. As you complete and progress through course work, additional course content and training may be released. The great thing is that the training and content is modularized, ready to use and actionable. You don't need to complete the full course training before starting your classes with students. So, you just need to be about 2 -4 sessions ahead in your training. As you train, you can start offering your classes to students using the content that you have already been trained on. Based on our experience, this model creates the most immersive training experience for you. Because, the proof of the training is in application and you can do these simultaneously. Whenever, you have questions, ask in the designated group to get feedback from an expert.
What types of classes can I offer?
The curriculum is modularized and allows for many different classes or delivery formats. We show you how to implement different formats during the training. For example, you an offer:
* A STEM Class during the school day (typically once a week per child)
* A STEM Afterschool class (typically once a week per child)
* Weekend Class
* Winter / summer break camps
What is the age range of students most suited for the courses?
Each course can be applied across multiple grade levels (from K-8). The applicability depends upon your course selection, children's aptitude and exposure to the topics covered.
If I start now, in about how much time will I be ready to start offering classes to my students?
Great question! You don't miss a beat and go straight to the most important question. The curriculum content and training is built to be ready-to-use and actionable. You just need to stay about 2 - 4 training sessions ahead of your children's class. Typically, after you complete about 1-2 training modules, you can begin conducting your classes with your students!
What do I get with my course purchase?
Currently. your one-time purchase of a course, provides you ongoing lifetime access to the course content, with self-paced virtual training, automatic access to any course enhancements, and Q&A with expert STEM Coaches. You get:
- Interdisciplinary Course: For your chosen theme, you receive course content and self-paced online training.

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 in her community. In her quest to solve global challenges, she has 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 decides 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 entrepreneurs, teachers and educators globally to bring fresh multi-dimensional STEM / STEAM curriculum into their classrooms since 2011.
