Lesson Plans

STEM Educator Academy lessons are anchored in design-based practices that encourage youth to create open-ended solutions to real-world problems. These activities are best suited for middle school learners but are adaptable for other ages. Our lessons can be used for one-time sessions or for extended learning experiences that culminate in a final project showcase. 

Please note that the grade level indicates to which learning standards the activity best aligns.
