You don’t need to be a scientist to spark a child’s interest in STEM! With a few simple tools and a lot of curiosity, you can make STEM learning fun and engaging right in your living room.

  1. Kitchen Chemistry – Try simple science experiments like making slime or vinegar-and-baking-soda volcanoes.
  2. Build It Together – Use LEGO, cardboard, or blocks to build bridges, towers, or Rube Goldberg machines.
  3. STEM Storytime – Read books that explore science topics or feature STEM-loving characters.
  4. Apps & Games – Introduce educational games like Tynker or Math Tango to teach coding and logic.
  5. Nature Walks – Observe insects, plants, or stars, and ask open-ended questions like “Why do you think that happens?”

STEM learning doesn’t require a lab—it starts with curiosity and the freedom to explore.
