Let's Get STEM-y!

Hey Girls...

STEM is an initiative that combines SCIENCE,TECHNOLOGY,ENGINEERING and MATH. We have been working on these types of activities throughout this school year. I would like for you to continue to explore STEM activities over the summer and I have a few suggested ideas to get you started.

-Attend a Lowe's Build & Grow Workshop and receive an apron and goggles

-Attend a Home Depot Kid's Workshop and receive an apron and pin

-Use a big appliance box to create your own playhouse, store, cave, or vehicle

-Use smaller boxes to create an architectural structure (stack, glue, tie, or tape them together)

-Create an outdoor habitat for your favorite animal

-Use pine cones, peanut butter, and bird seed to make a bird feeder

-Learn to play chess

-Make home-made playdough, silly putty, or bubbles

Have fun! Visit our Linkable page for more ideas and links!
