Powerful learning doesn’t happen in isolation, which is particularly true for young learners. For this reason, STEM education is crucial. Learning within siloed subject areas doesn’t permit students to grasp the interconnected nature of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology. When we establish connections between what students are learning in mathematics and science and apply that knowledge...

Electricity is a large part of our daily lives. Without it, we would be able to engage in any activities. We often don't know exactly how precious it is until we experience a power outage. Electricity doesn't just involve currents- it also allows individuals to move, think and feel. We explore several different static electricity experiments that illustrate what this natural phenomenon...

Many STEM subjects rely on in-person interactions, but these easy virtual STEM activities prove that there are no limits to learning. In a world where everything is virtual, STEM activities have sometimes become a challenge. Without access to labs and hands-on support from a teacher, students may struggle to execute experiments successfully and fully grasp concepts....

Is architecture classified as STEM? STEM is comprised of science, technology, engineering, and math. Architecture encompasses the engineering and mathematical component of this classification. However, just like other professions, has it officially obtained its rightful designation? Is Architecture STEM? On July 18, 2018, Congress officially passed a bill designating engineering a STEM science. The passing of this...

Having to wait for a 3D part can be agonizing. We know how fantastic the object will be once it’s made. But first, we need to wait for the printing process to finish. It’s enough to make anyone impatient. Multiple elements will affect how long a 3D printer will take. Sometimes, you might be able to...

One wouldn’t consider nursing a contentious issue when it comes to STEM education. However, surprisingly it is! It seems obvious that nursing would clearly encapsulate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), yet even those who work in the field argue as to whether they are employed in a STEM field or not. Message boards are flooded...
