These are the same set of courses available, so far, only to an exclusive group of educators worldwide including teachers trained at many schools, school districts and organizations. Countless children, parents, teachers, schools, school districts, care providers have experienced the lessons as STEM classes, in-school field trips, afterschool programs, summer camps, and workshops. The access starts immediately for the full 2024-2025 school year. You can do self-paced online training whenever you want. You can start one course, move to the second, do some of the 3rd and so on. No restrictions. You can use the lessons to conduct summer school, summer camps or implement them in your school classroom as rotations, specials or as part of your regular science, math or technology classes. You can conduct afterschool programs and make a side income... your choice. Our goal is to enable you with the best STEM / STEAM resources so you can pass those to the children you serve in your communities. 

Please do your research. Here are some pointers for you to consider:

There is none. You pay the 2% cost annually as the scholarship covers 98% of the cost. Then, just use the resources you will have available at your fingertips to provide quality experiences for the students you serve. Our goal is to impact a million children... you make it happen and we are enabling you. No need to waste your time and energy in searching for lessons on Google, TPT (Teacher Pay Teachers), Facebook or elsewhere. Just do your thing and make a difference for the youngsters. 

Courses can be applied across multiple grade levels (typically from K-5). The applicability depends upon your course selection, children's aptitude and exposure to the topics covered. If you are in a community where children don't have any exposure to STEM programs before, you may apply some of the courses to lower middle school grades as well. If you have students who haven't done computer programming or robotics ever before, then the respective courses can be used for high schoolers too. 

Money Back Guarantee. If you decide to not continue with the course for any reason and you have not started any training, you can ask for a full refund before starting your training by emailing support@stemforkids.net (please give 24 business hours for a response.) Our system is capable of seeing what courses and training you have started. If you start your training, we will be happy to cancel your subscription after the initial subscription period. Once annual subscription has been renewed for the next year, you can request subscription be canceled before the next renewal date.

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. 

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. For more details, see "What's the WHAT Behind Your STEM Classes" video from Moni Singh's Teaching STEM series. 

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 want 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. 

STEM / STEAM is very broad.  Based on your interests, ability and your students' abilities / interests, you can do - 

For youngsters or anyone new to computer programming, start with drag-and-drop programming. These tools show a simple, easy to follow sequence of steps to provide instructions to a computer / technology.  

Whether you are using a robot or an application to teach them computer programming, the click-next type of software applications are a nice way to introduce computer programming because they provide the instant gratification of having done something. Additionally, it is important to cover the foundational pillars of computing. Our very own, STEM For Kids®' founder, Moni Singh aka Ms. STEM, also a computer science engineer, breaks it down in her teaching how to code video series. Start here to learn all the details. 

The best way to do this is to select a few, 2-3, themes only. Then, customize the content based on grade level.  That way, you will have similar set of materials, technology kits and less mind-shifting from one topic to the next. The instructional staff and teachers find this suitable as it minimizes your preparation time and allows you to focus more time coaching your students. 

All. In today's environment, schools have learned that in case of any urgency they can switch to virtual learning to ensure educational continuity for their students. So, when selecting courses and curriculum, make sure that there are some elements that can be implemented in virtual online setting.  

While live in-person trainings have merit, we find them providing too much information in too little time leading to the feeling of "drinking from a fire hose". That feeling of overwhelm with the course content that you will be teaching to your students is not the most effective. 

When you structure your curriculum to be modularized or find one that is, you can offer many different classes or delivery formats. For example, with STEM For Kids®' courses, the teachers and educators can offer:

The best practices include:

Great question! There are multitude of ways in which you can help children practice life skills in a safe, protected and controlled environment. Here are a few ways:

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. 

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. 

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! 

Each course provides you access to the course content for the current school year, with self-paced virtual training, automatic access to any course enhancements, and Q&A with expert STEM Coaches.  You get:

Use the learned content to offer as many classes as you like for your student group. When you are ready, come back here to get another course to keep it exciting for your children and give them a tasting of different options available in the world of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. 

You can have each teacher needing access, make a purchase here and get their training enabled. If you have a group of 10 teachers or more, complete a request for quote here.

You will pay a one-time fee of $1,497 for a lifetime access to one themed course for yourself.
