January is a great month to begin with new STEM ed fun and goals! Learn computer science, edible science experiments and tips for helping kids set and track their New Year’s STEM Resolutions that build curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
What Is a STEM Resolution?
A STEM resolution is a goal connected to curiosity, problem-solving, or learning through experimentation. These goals help kids practice skills real scientists and engineers use every day: persistence, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. Make a volcano erupt or take the journey of goal-setting with a sparkling map of the night sky through these edible science experiments.
