As part of our project with National Grid to distribute our engineering Try It! Kits to families across Massachusetts, we are excited to share a recent distribution event supporting youth through the Office for Refugees and Immigrants.

Our friends at Ohio State University’s Family Engagement Center are known for their incredible resources to support family learning. In their most recent newsletter, they featured our activities for STEM learning at home.

We know that kids are natural engineers. Keeping them engaged and learning at home and in our communities helps to build on their innate curiosity and see opportunities for learning in their everyday surroundings. As part of our Bringing STEM Home series, we’re sharing easy, free or low cost at-home activities and experiments for learners in K-8th grade.

Ever wondered what kind of career your learners could pursue with an engineering education? Has your student demonstrated skills with problem solving and creative thinking? It might be time to visit our newest exhibit at the Museum of Science!

As our students continue to return to their classrooms, educators everywhere are reporting that their learners are experiencing anxiety, have trouble concentrating and are struggling with their work. Supporting learners’ social emotional needs has always been important but, after the disjointed last year, the need to tune in to these elements of their education is all the more essential.
