Plan ahead to bring interesting science and engineering to your students from January to June. Our STEM Calendar provides a roadmap for discovering teaching products and hands-on experiments to match with calendar events through completion of the school year.
STEM Calendar– A Roadmap of Science and Engineering Connections for Events and Popular Themes for January-June
We know teachers often plan weeks and even months in advance for hands-on STEM experiments and activities. To make it simpler to keep the big picture of the next couple of months (or the term) in mind, weve created this STEM Calendar to highlight science and engineering tie-ins for thematic and seasonal material.
There are numerous STEM-focused “days” and “weeks” and lots of other observances on the calendar. Weve curated our STEM Calendar to include a few of the most recognized connections, holidays, and tie-ins, particularly ones for which we have thorough resources to assist support science and engineering in the classroom. We will continue to upgrade our STEM Calendar, and we will fill out the remainder of the year in time for the start of the next academic year.
Well be highlighting many of these science and engineering activities and resources separately in coming months, but we hope this new STEM Calendar makes it easier to find the resources you require to develop interesting STEM finding out opportunities for your students.
