The pandemic changed how and where we learn. But, even before this time, we knew some of the best learning occurs outside of schools with our friends and families investigating and solving problems in our homes and communities.
This page features opportunities for self-guided STEM learning. If you live on campus, consider stopping by the IRRC for activities in our Kids corner. Keep scrolling to find downloadable activities you can use as a family!
