Is our STEM curriculum right for you?
Our integrated STEM curriculum was created to cover Grades 3-8 Next Generation Science Standards over a 2-4 week period if incorporated into a daily routine. These STEM guides are composed of 3-4 lessons that follow the 5E format, giving students the opportunity to explore various science topics. Throughout each unit, students build and iterate robots using the engineering design process. Perfect for regular classrooms, science classes, or STEM courses, each unit includes a teacher guide and an accompanying student-facing digital notebook.
