This morning I wanted to share a new homeschool resources: You2stem.com a online program that allows students to learn Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics programs for students in K-5 and 6-12 as well as Special Needs Students.
A remote learning program that is focused on fostering growth, creativity, and inclusion. Today’s science, technology, engineering, mathematics programs (STEM) are often only available in affluent communities and regularly exclude many students. We have built a program that is economically affordable and available to everyone!
Every week we post new content on Tuesday morning. The content is spread across four primary student groups. The general STEM categories are grades K-5 and 6-12. There is also a section for special needs students in the same grade levels. In addition to the weekly video lessons posted for each category, we add in weekly challenges and TinkerCad lessons for the students to work on themselves. So each week, any given category will have one STEM video lesson, one weekly challenge, and one TinkerCad lesson. We also provide the associated worksheets for each lesson.
Weekly challenges are lessons that stoke a student’s creative mind. We do not have video lessons associated with these challenges. They are for the students to do on their own. When the original brick and mortar program was running, students would often come to class with creative projects that they built on their own using the skills and knowledge they gained during class. We decided to add an element into our program that encouraged students to do the same.
TinkerCad is a free online program that teaches students how to design in 3D. We have used it over the years as a platform for students to create and visualize their ideas. All you need to do is head to TinkerCad.com and create an account. The best part is it is free!
We offer three pricing plans. The first is a monthly plan that charges your credit card automatically every thirty days. The other plans are three month and yearly plans that are discounted.
