STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is an important area of focus in the classroom and at home. One of the questions we often receive, is how do I engage my daughter or son in STEM?
Fortunately, several of our Math and Science tutors, have shared their 5 favourite and fun STEM websites for kids:
1) The Science of Winter Olympics: With the Winter Olympics around the corner, the NBC Learn team has teamed up with the National Science Foundation to prepare 16 videos about how Math and Science impact sports.
