Join us in this exciting hands-on workshop and learn how to integrate STEM in your afterschool program or at home. Bring your problem-solving skills as we construct several STEM activities and learn how to create a blended learning environment. We'll highlight several inexpensive, hands-on resources that integrate STEM. These STEM activities exemplify the benefits of project-based learning to enable youth to transfer their knowledge and skills to real-world problems, to be motivated to learn, and to improve their math and science scores.
