List of Resources ⤵︎

APS:

1. Khan Academy: This app is great for all age students. It is very useful for learning concepts that AP STEM classes require you to know. Khan Academy has a variety of APS such as AP Chemistry, Environmental Science, Physics (1 and 2), Calculus AB/BC, and Statistics. For middle school students, Khan Academy offers Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth science, along with differnet Math and Computer Science courses. These courses are all free to use without any extra fees! Inside these courses include key concepts in order (unit by unit), videos, practice tests and much more. This is also College Board certified for those who are studying for their AP exams. Whether you need to study for your AP exam or you need help on a specific concept, Khan Academy is always avaliable for you!

2. GeoGebra: This is a free mathmatics software that uses visual representation to help studensts of all ages including high school students to study for math. GeoGebra includes a graphic calculator, an interactive section where you can create geometric shapes and/or constructions using lines, points, circles, polygons, and angles, a 3d graphing calculator, CAS calculator, spreadsheets, and a probability calculator. It helps solves any type of math problem (algebra, geomety, calculus and many more) with a full detailed explanation on how to solve It also has a whole libary of over 1 million free resoruces of math games, simulations, and lessons created by teachers worldwide. If you are a high school student needing a free math resource to study for math tests, AP exams, or the SAT, this resource is for you!

3. Anki: Anki is a free flashcard resource on web browsers like Mac and Windows that is popular among students of different ages. Like other flashcard apps, Anki forces you to do space repetition, and includes other features such as having different card types, media integration, a community of pre-made flashcard decks, and deck syncing. As Anki is used for other subjects, it is also very helpful for science concepts such as Anatomy, Psychology, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Anki tackles 2 of the biggest challenges when studying for AP exams, which are massive amounts of vocabulary memorization and complex concepts. It does this by using fill in the blank cards and image occlusion. If you are a high school student studying for AP exams or any other science class, Anki is great for flashcards and active recall!

4. Schoolhouse.world: This is a free one on one tutoring resource that specializes in math (from pre-algebra all the way up to statics) and science topics (biology, chemistry, physics and computer science). Their core features include live Zoom sessions, which are available for you to rewatch and use Khan Academy’s structure through assignments and practice questions, and shareable certifications that can be recognized by MIT and UChicago. All tutors are certified for both safety and subject expertise through a multi-step process and if they want to do AP exam prep, they have to grade a 4 or 5 on the corresponding AP exam. For SAT prep, they have to score an elite score, so they can do SAT prep. This resource is very useful for students who want to study for their STEM AP exams and more.

5. CodeHS: CodeHS is a free web browser that is an official College Board-endorsed provider meant for students of all ages who are interested in coding, plus high school students that are taking coding classes like AP Computer Science A and AP Computer Science Principles. CodeHS’s features include a web-based IDE to run, test debug and write code, a visual puzzle system that teaches coding logic (such as loops, functions, and conditions) before moving on to text-based languages, feedback for your code, and sandbox mode to work on personal coding projects. CodeHS helps high school students who are studying for the AP Computer Science A exams through courses that match the exam requirements, interactive modules targeting major AP Computor Science topics and FRQ Code Centers. For students who are studying for the AP Computer Science Principles exam, it uses big idea alignment (meaning it blocks the units out to match the 5 big ideas tested on the exam) and it guides you through the digital requirements for the Creative Performance Task, which ensures you get a high score on it. This is a unique resource that helps students study for the different AP Computer Science exam in a visual way.

1. Carnegie Mellon University’s Open Learning Initiative: Founded by Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. This website includes multiple courses within STEM such as the different types of sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (including logic) to help bridge the gap between high school and college to help students get ready for college. 

2. National Institutes of Health: Founded by the National Institutes of Health, it has a website that includes courses for students who want to learn about all things medicine like the human body, diseases, genetics and many more. This is for students who want to work in the medical industry. 

3. Code.org: Now officially known as CODEAI, it is a website with free courses for students of all ages that are interested in computer science. It includes courses like Python, AI, programming and more to help students learn more about computer science in an easy way.

4. MITx: This is a website that has many different STEM courses taught by MIT faculty in Massachusetts. Their courses includes biology, physics, computer science, and many more to help students from around the world get higher education from the comfort of their own home.

1. Veritiasm: Hosted by Derek Muller, this channel includes topics in STEM along with critical thinking. He explains hard STEM concepts like biology, space, quantum physics and more into an easy to understand type of way.

2. Physics Girl: Created by Dianne Cowern, an MIT graduate in a degree of physics, creates videos about various topics of physics. Her videos are fast-paced and fun to watch for viewers who are interested in and wanting to learn more about physics.

3. Crash Course: This channel has high quality videos especially chemistry and biology for high school students. It also has many hosts who try to entertain while maintaining a level of seriousness, so that students can learn more about these science topics.

4. TED-Ed: TED-Ed has short animated videos that teaches not only STEM, but other topics too. They have a wide variety of topics in STEM ranging from science to technology. TED-Ed uses different types of technology to make their videos easy to understand and visually appealing to viewers around the world.

1. Edx: This is a website that is best for free self-paced lessons in math, physics, chemistry, and computer science from elementary levels up to college prep. They have content that is taught by professionals and teachers who are experts on their subject.
