STEM Starters
STEM Starters Provide students with essential tools to complete hands-on projects. When combined
with everyday items, these materials can be used to design and execute a project using
creative exploration and the engineering design process. By approaching a problem or a challenge
with this thought process, children are able to make educated guesses, problem solve,
and learn without the fear of making a mistake. Perfect for individuals or small groups.
