All About Stem Subscription Boxes

What are STEM Subscription boxes?

Before we explain what STEM Subscription boxes are, we will first explain what STEM means. It stands for “Science, Technology, Engineering and Math”. STEM education tries to bring these areas of education as a way to solve/cope with day to day challenges. STEM education is usually directed to kids at all ages, which exposes them to modern science practices and to the professions of the future.

STEM subscription boxes are educational projects created by companies who employ experts, which are sent to your doorstep every month, and include all the materials and instructions for your kids, to create a fun and educative STEM project.

Besides being very educative, this is a great way to spend quality time with your kids, on their favorite STEM topic — your kids can learn Math, Physics, Art, Engineering, Programming and more, in a very fun way.

STEM subscription boxes are also considered as a great gift, and this gift will last for a long time (as long as the monthly subscription last) and will have a long term impact on your child as they are being exposed more to modern science practices that will help them cope with the modern world.

Which STEM products are most recommended?

There are many options for STEM subscription boxes out there, all depends on what kinds of educational area your kids prefers, your kids age, and the country in which you live.

As mentioned above, STEM education touches many different educational areas, like science, Art, Engineering, Physics, Programming, Math and more. Some STEM subscription boxes touch one educational area, and some combine few.

If you already know your kids area of interest, you can choose one of the leading brands out there (for example — you can check out the KiwiCo review and the Mel Science Review).

If you do not know yet — don’t worry! you can just pick one of the leading brands, buy a short-term subscription, and if you see your child is engaged, you can always extend your subscription.

Are there any free STEM activities out there?

If you’re looking to spend less money and still enjoy some fun and educative STEM activities with your kids, there are numerous options for you. Websites like Mel Science offer many home experiments recipes to execute easily at home.

In Addition, YouTube hosts millions of online science experiments which explains step by step what to do, and which materials are required to do so. As an example, search for “magnetic slime” experiment on YouTube.

Please note, that sometimes running science experiments at home can be dangerous, so please follow instructions carefully and make sure there is an adult monitoring where ever required.

No More Hours of TV for your kids!

Are you tired of your kids spending hours and hours watching TV or playing computer games? Well, STEM education is a great way to win your kids attention back, and spend quality time with them. The fun fact is that this is available at a very young age — as of 2 years old and on.

As a parent, and specially during COVID-19, finding ways to keep the kids off of TV is not a simple mission…So conducting science experiments at home is a great form of entertainment for your loved ones.
