What educators are saying

I love assigning these STEM activities for an at home project. I recently assigned the October STEM and the kids/ families really enjoy the challenges! I always look forward to the day they are due in class so the students can demonstrate and communicate their engineering process!
I loved using this in my third grade classroom. My kids loved it AND it pulls my class together perfectly.
