Rocket Races

Rockets seem to generate much excitement with children! The STEM foundations of rocketry provide exciting opportunities for authentic hands-on, minds-on experimentation. The activities and lesson plans in this educator guide from NASA emphasize hands-on science, prediction, data collection and interpretation, teamwork, and problem solving. The guide also shares the history of rockets and basic rocket science. The Rocket Activities in this guide support national curriculum standards for science, mathematics, and technology.

Sustainable Aviation STEM Toolkit

The Sustainable Aviation STEM Toolkit provides educators and students with cross-curricular content related to NASA's goal to create sustainable aviation for students pre-K through 12. A Spanish-language section is also included.

Making Connections to STEM Careers with Click2Science

This series of short, online video tutorials will help afterschool programs connect their STEM programming to the work of STEM professionals - and help the youth they serve experience the practical skills that professionals use on a day-to-day basis!

Connecting Learning Activities to STEM Careers - Participants will brainstorm STEM careers and connect them to common out-of-school time activities.
Connecting STEM Activities to Future Careers - Participants will watch the Trying Out Career Roles module to learn how to connect activities to STEM careers.
Creating an Action Plan for Connecting to STEM Careers - Participants will watch the Connecting the Activity to a Career Video-Based Learning Module to learn to connect youths' experience to STEM pathways and careers.

Support Early Childhood STEAM Learning Through Play

Get ready to play with National Girls Collaborative Project! Learn how to leverage an interdisciplinary STEAM approach to foster young children's (pre-k to grade 3) curiosity through authentic, play-based learning. There are many benefits to early introductions to STEAM, but many STEAM education tools and technologies are expensive and not playful or developmentally appropriate for young learners.

In this webinar recording, the speakers will share evidence-based, hands-on approaches so early childhood educators and caregivers can use playful, low-cost, and screen-free approaches to introduce STEAM concepts and skills.

Kickstart Your School Year with Hands-On Engineering

Thinking ahead to the school year and some fun activities? Then this webinar on August 26th from the Museum of Science, Boston is for you!

During this energetic, interactive webinar, you'll design a model bench using a design process that engineers use. It will help students explore what engineers do and how they think. Perfect for any educator ready to bring STEM to life!
