Summer Camps
One of the most popular topics on my site, STEM summer camps are highly sought after by parents and kids! Sometimes parents just need to fill a week during the summer with a STEM camp, while for others, it’s something their kids cherish attending every summer. These articles will give you ideas of what’s available and help you find them.
After-School Activities
There are many ways for kids to benefit from STEM enrichment and have experiences outside of the school day. You can find STEM activities through clubs and after-school classes at your child’s school, local library, community centers, and STEM companies. Here are a few examples of popular activities!
Hands-on Activities
It’s not always necessary to sign up for a predefined class or camp. Some kids are happy to explore STEM on their own time and at their own speed.
College Preparation
As a parent who has gone through the college application process with a STEM-focused child, I’ve compiled some articles to guide you through the process.
