"Tinkering is a hands-on form of open-ended exploration to learn about how things work, how to improve them, and how to build new things. Having an area of the home devoted to tinkering can make it more likely that family will spend time exploring and creating."
​
A fun website with ways to "tinker" with simple electronics, machines, engineering, & coding tasks.

A great online resource from PBS.

With a focus on engineering, building, and creating, this site has lots of DIY activities, videos, and games to excite your child's interest in STEM.

Kids can create their own profile to share ideas with other kids and engineer mentors.

"Includes tons of engineering and STEM-related projects for all ages!" - Brendan from Illinois

Discover the nuts and bolts of engineering. This website contains advice on careers, entertaining info on all kinds of fields and links to the eGFI magazine.

Great information on the difference between the types of engineering.

K-12 PROGRAMS FOR KIDS

FIRST Lego League Jr., FIRST Lego League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST Robotics Competition.

Welcome to SDA's Robotics Club: Team Paradox!

We at FIRST Team Paradox 2102 have dedicated ourselves to becoming and guiding the next generation of problem solvers. For the past decade, engineers, artists, machinists, managers, programmers, writers and makers have worked together to create an environment where creativity and passions bloom.

I have been a member of this great team since my Freshman year of High School

Girls RISEnet, a partnership between the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science, the Association of Science-Technology Centers, and SECME, Inc., strengthened the professional capacity of informal science educators to engage and motivate minority girls in grades 6-12 to explore and pursue science and engineering careers.

Site has links to:
Museums across the country
Engineering and Science activities

Designed for students with interested in biology, the iGEM competition has students work in teams to build genetically engineered systems with biological parts called BioBricks. The goal is to create projects that positively contribute to the world.

The MATE competition challenges K-12, community college, and university students from all over the world to design and build ROVs to tackle missions modeled after scenarios from the ocean workplace. The competition’s class structure of beginner, intermediate, and advanced complements the education pipeline by providing students with the opportunity to build upon their skills – and the application of those skills – as they engineer increasingly more complex ROVs for increasingly more complex mission tasks.

This is the website for PBS's popular science show with many videos and articles.

Explore the wonders of evolution, nature, physics +math, tech + engineering, nature, space + flight, planet earth, etc.

Welcome to STEM-Works, a resource for teachers, mentors, parents, STEM professionals, volunteers, and everyone passionate about getting children eager to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math.

Want to know more about careers in engineering? Browse through detailed information on over 100 careers to discover what scientists really do and what it takes to prepare for these careers.

Who says that the tools are not for girls?


We want women and girls to come forward and shatter the stereotypes against them and show the world what they are truly capable of doing. Tools & Tiaras, wholeheartedly believe that girls can do every and anything and we aim to help girls learn trade skills by exposing, inspiring, and mentoring them to excel in these areas. We want to empower girls to be trailblazers.

Summer Camps & Chapters with workshops.

Sells fun coffee mugs, t-shirts, & bandanas to help provide workshops.

What are you doing to help solve the global STEM crisis?

The world faces an unprecedented need for new innovators, thinkers, and problem solving leaders. Our goal is to create engaging, affordable, and powerful solutions that immerse students in STEM through the excitement of building and programming robots.

Washington State University's Ask Dr. Universe allows kids to explore various STEM topics and get answers to common questions. Have a question not covered on the site? Submit it on their "Ask" page

Such a cute and informative website!

"DiscoverE works to ensure people everywhere understand how engineers, technicians, and technologists make the world a better place. 30 years ago we were the first to call on the engineering community to volunteer in their local schools and help young students discover engineering. Now we lead a growing volunteer and educator movement recognized worldwide. "

Wonderful site with information on Engineering:
Programs, Training, Activities (including at home), & Downloads

"Engineering is a field that focuses on creating and using scientific and technological solutions to problems, such as machines, programs, or structures. It’s crucial for kids to learn about engineering because this knowledge can set them up for a good career. There are many types of engineers, so kids with a wide variety of interests may find that a future in engineering appeals to them. But even kids who don’t plan on becoming engineers can benefit from honing their research and problem-solving skills through study in this area."

This guide "Not only does it break down all the different fields of engineering, but it has tons of projects for all ages to explore..." Nicole and Mrs. L. Stevens - NH Stem Club for Girls
