What Teachers Are Saying

We are in an era of transition as we implement the Next Generation Science Standards. As we moved toward 3-dimensional learning, hands-on labs began to fade. STEM 101 is a great program for reintroducing hands-on activities focused on Systems and system models. Using hydroponics, students explored multi-step procedures, made and corrected mistakes, and took the lead. Those who usually needed motivation or wandered were now helping classmates with purpose. They saw how components work together to germinate seeds and maintain vegetation. It was amazing to hear their progress as they continued growth at home.

The room was completely silent and this 5th grade is my rambunctious group. This is why these kits are so remarkable and I seriously can't put into words what they do for my classroom. This class was SILENT! When they finished a task they looked around and helped others. It's like these kits give me new kids.

Jessica I. / Northside Elementary & Coulee Montessori

When I first saw the STEM 101 projects, I thought they might be too easy for my 8th graders. But as we explored sound waves in our science unit, it became the perfect hands-on opportunity. The dashboard, videos, and materials were incredibly helpful. We built together, step by step — and that’s when I saw it: these kits are awesome. They hit the sweet spot where students truly felt like builders and engineers. I’m so glad they got to experience science in this way.

Keith P. / PS/MS5, New York

I strongly stand behind their program and the value that STEM 101 has brought and continues to bring to students, families, teachers and the whole Edna Brewer Community.

We are excited about our continued partnership and the great opportunity it presents for our students and teachers.
