So you've seen the periodic table, and know how gravity works, and can name all the simple machines. (But really though, that's pretty impressive.) And you want something more. You want the science with a bang, the tech to make your life easier, the engineering to build something really cool, and the math to figure out just how much you need to make at your part-time job to afford those concert tickets. You want it practical, and you want it fun.
STEM is designed to be just that - practical and fun. Once you've got the basics down, we encourage you to dig a little deeper. How can STEM solve the problems you see in the world? Maybe you want to build a better skateboard. Maybe you think a trash can that talks will encourage people to stop littering. Maybe you want to find out how to work for NASA. Maybe you just want to see how high you can get a bottle rocket to go. These resources are aimed at helping you do all those things.
