Shaping the Innovators of Tomorrow: The Significance of STEM Education for Youth When you hear “STEM,” what comes to mind? You might think of science experiments, robots, rockets, or coding. But STEM is more than just a collection of subjects. It’s a way of thinking, learning, and solving problems to help kids develop essential skills […]
Learning about Electricity & Magnetism
Did you know that most electricity in the world is generated by moving magnetic fields near conductive copper wires? Moving magnetic flux creates movement in the electrons within the copper wire, generating electrical current that people use everyday. This process is called magnetic induction electricity generation. Ready for some magnetic induction electricity exploration? Check out […]
Learning about Magnetism
Magnetism is a result of the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of the universe. Magnets are also one of the most tangible ways to explore the quantum nature of our world, since the push-and-pull of magnetism can be obviously felt. Looking for some magnetism exploration ideas? Check out these fun activities below! […]
Learning about States of Matter
Popsicles, ice pops and paletas are a favorite summertime (or any time) treat. They are also a fun way to get kids involved in learning about the three primary states of matter (solid, liquid and gas), focusing on the solid and liquid states of water. And since they’re so easy to make and relatively fail-safe, […]
