STEM Projects, Subjects and Programs to Ask About
STEM Subjects to Ask About
Teachers often search for STEM projects with a clear subject among STEM activities, such as coding, a robot build, physics, chemistry, energy, water or space. The AGC Education description states no subject list for STEMvelope beyond its lesson plans, poster templates, visual aids and student pages.
STEM Learning Skills and Programs to Ask About
The description does not say whether the lessons touch on design, an experiment, a bridge-building STEM challenge, critical thinking, reading, literacy, art or music, or how the package fits the school's subjects and programs.
How the Package Connects to Other Resources and Classroom Technology
Free STEM Education Resources
Teachers also find STEM education content as a free download from a blog, in videos, on social media and from NASA (the United States space agency).
STEM Ideas for Kids and Parents
Those do-it-yourself (DIY) ideas, from slime to sensory bins and games, suit kids at home, children in summer programs and parents. A school buys differently, because it needs STEM activities a whole class can follow.
STEM Classroom Technology
AGC Education also sells poster printers (the Educator Plus line), laminators, laser engravers, heat presses, sublimation stations and the Cut-Out Studio contour cutter. Its 3D printer package (the IMAGIN3D Printer Package) includes a kit for teachers (the STEM3D Teachers Resources Kit).
