Hey, everybody! As a scientist, I am very passionate about STEM and promoting STEM at all levels of education. That's why I've started making these -- crosswords and word searches for every branch of science! The puzzles are meant to be enjoyed by youths, students, enthusiasts, and adults alike!
Although I'm not a teacher myself, I want to do my part in promoting STEM in the classroom. I hope you find these helpful!
Hi everyone! Im a high school student working on my Capstone project— to improve access to STEAM education in underprivileged communities— and i need your help.
Please take a minute to fill out this quick, anonymous survey to share your experiences and insights: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jjMPHp62PLIKPP3bVYDS9wbHl5rmnF6oEKP7-kW8oqE/viewform?edit_requested=true&pli=1
Your input will help create better opportunities for students who need it most. Thanks for your support!
I've been looking for actually good STEM kits but none of them feel, premium or well built. I am more of an engineering guy and a math guy and all the cheap badly built robotics kits just won't cut it, i'm looking for complexity and quality. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks.
I attempted to create bacteria that can survive in alcohol.
I would rather not waste our time in a topic that we aren't interested to. It's more preferable if we change topics wherein everyone of us is eager to pursue. So I am in need of help in developing research topics that aren't too hard to conduct given that we only have a limited time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!!
Hey y'all, me and my friends created a STEM Discord Server! It's very small and casual right now but feel free to join!

Hey! We are doing a survey about the increase in interest of women in STEM fields and the ratio of women and men in STEM. We're also including other gender as well. It would be really appreciated for you to fill it out! It takes max 2 minutes. Sharing the link to other STEM students would also be appreciated! Here is the link: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=hfFpVS_SE06YUM5bGrzS6JVTb-QLpfhIpD6UxO8c_K5UMEhNR1BQNDZDSlgyVjVNRUtZQ1dDQUxVMi4u

Students of STEM, If u guys can take 2 minutes to fill this form for a statistics project it will be greatly appreciated, thx <3
It is essentially asking for your gender, major, GPA and the reason you chose STEM. The goal is to compare gender comparison over the last 5 years (2020-2024)
For context, i’m a high school student about to enter my senior year. I’ve always been strong in science and specifically biology. Now that I have to seriously consider a career, i’m finding it difficult to pick a plan since biology is such a broad degree. I would like to do molecular biology, but I look up molecular biologist jobs and they are poorly paying. On the other hand, research science pays way better. But I don’t understand why I can’t just be a research scientist for molecular projects? Do they not go hand in hand? From my understanding research scientist is a broad career that caters to your scientific specialty. Please give me any recommendations for careers to research with a biology/biochemistry degree!
I am working on a Super Theme Day of STREAM Projects for kids. The average age of the kids will be around 8 years old, but there will be some 4-5 year olds as well.
Does anyone have any ideas that would be safe and interactive for the kids?
This is my very first microcontroller project (ESP32) and it was a lot of fun! This annual clock is based on something I saw on kickstarter a while ago. The clock slowly advances ~1-degree a day and you can see the year progressing in a whole different way. Just in the 3 weeks I've been working on it has advanced 20-degrees and it gave me an interesting perspective on what % of my year went by in a very intuitive way,
It was a great learning experience and got help from this community too--thanks! If anyone is looking for a simple project that has a fun deliverable, take a look. I think it'd be perfect for STEM programs starting at middle school.

I am definitely open to feedback for any part--hardware, software, instructions, etc--so please share anything that you think would help get more people to be successful with projects like this!
Does anyone know of lesson plans that have a similar vibe to Odyssey of the Mind / Destination Imagination? We are an inquiry-based summer enrichment program for elementary and middle-school kids and have a week-long unit on flight in June. I'm trying to think of a "grand challenge" that kids can work on over multiple days. Most of the flight projects I've seen are either very kit-based and not that creative or too simple (e.g. different types of paper airplanes/kites). I remember the actual process of DI/OM as being very interesting and liberating as a kid, and I liked how we built everything ourselves instead of having parents wave the magic wand (even if the result might have been more wow). I'd actually love to plug in DI/OM-ish blueprints to a lot of what we're doing, but all I can find are sign ups for the current challenge. We're on an island in Croatia, btw, so we can't really call on local groups, makerspaces, etc.
Know a high school student interested in astronomy and/or space sciences?
The International Association for Astronomical Studies (based out of Star Haven Observatory located in Strasburg, Colorado) is expanding our student research team to include an expanded collaboration program for students outside the Denver area.
IAAS research team students conduct and participate in actual astronomy and space science research for many government agencies, educational institutions and private sector space sciences organizations using astronomical and space sciences research equipment and processes. After completion of the research for the projects, they also get credit for their work as part of the research.
Submit your application for the group via our application form - join.iaas.org.
More information on the IAAS is located on the group's Facebook page (FB.com/iaasorg) or on our website at IAAS.org.
The IAAS, a 501(c)3 organization originally founded in 1977 by a space sciences educator has a 45+ year track record of success in the student astronomy and space sciences research fields.

Hi everyone!
I'm doing a research project using Redcap as part of my graduate studies to see if minority representation in the media affects persistence in STEM majors.
Due to the research topic, the target demographics would be those who are:
No personal data will be collected such as name, email, or phone number.
Participation would be greatly appreciated.

I would be more than happy to complete a survey as well (of course) Thank you again!
I am working on my MBA capstone project, which deals with STEM education for homeschool families and homeschool co-ops. If you have been involved with homeschooling or are currently homeschooling, could you take a few minutes to fill out this 9-question survey? Please also feel free to share the form link with anyone you know who is involved with homeschooling. The more people that fill it out, the better! Thank you for your help.

Hello, so we are soon starting our capstone in which we have to create an end product. But the thing is the ideas we want to pursue are already existing, so we want to know if there are known "gaps" in these technology that we can improve on??? (Also please recommend a great website for finding already existing studies cuz I think that's what is hindering us the most)
So we have these topics
1 pee power
2 gravity as a renewable Energy Source
3 eco friendly ink
Any help would be appreciated
If STEM is the collection of the career fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Is a science or math teacher a STEM job or does it fall under the field of teaching. Always been curious about it.
Hi, I'm looking for any influencers in STEM that have a small enough following that they may be interested in being in an interview for my STEM organization. Any ideas?
I made a cyborg hand and it works fine, but the ring things you put your fingers in just doesn't clip on. And when I use it they fall of so easily. Can anyone help?
