STEM SPORTS
STEM Sports® provides K-8 curricula using sports to drive STEM-based, active learning. Honored with Best of STEM awards in 2023 and 2024, the company is committed to the educational enrichment of K-8 youth. Through the use of sports, the novel and engaging curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, promote collaboration, and improve comprehension and real-world application of STEM concepts. Lessons provide an adaptive, hands-on approach for students to exercise problem-solving skills that will help them throughout their education and in future careers. Real-life applications are encouraged and explained throughout, and each module lists careers and concepts to encourage students to pursue opportunities in STEM fields.
The curriculum is offered in four grade bands: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and K-12 for SPED students. This differentiation is based on standards at the primary and secondary levels, ensuring students comprehend and apply grade-applicable concepts and objectives to each lesson. The curriculum is mapped to Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core State Standards – Math, and National K-12 Physical Education Standards.
The curriculum is designed for use during the school day, after school, in home-school or remote learning settings, or as part of summer enrichment or instruction. For in-classroom instruction, generalist, STEM, science, math, PE, AVID and other teachers use the curriculum as an elective (two, three or even five times a week) and supplemental tool.
Unlike other curricula, STEM Sports pairs digital learning with hands-on physical activities. Students experience STEM by conducting experiments with included sports equipment and science supplies, then tracking their hypotheses, measurements, and observations in their digital environment. This allows students to move their bodies, get out of their seats, and experience an increased heart rate, something that is outside the norm in digital learning atmospheres. Printed teacher manuals are also offered for implementation. Learn more.
