Welcome to Northrop Grumman Foundation's STEM Flix

And they are all about having fun with STEM – that is, SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING and MATHEMATICS. With help from Boston science teacher and frequent TV guest, Science Bob, you will learn about these topics through videos that include experiments you can do at home, as well as some crazy demonstrations that show just how STEM works. Because when you think about it, STEM makes nearly everything we enjoy in our daily lives possible – from the circuits that make computer tablets work, to the materials used to make snowboards that allow you to do cool tricks! And what about some of things that you’d LIKE to do one day, like travel through time?! Well, while you might not be able to click your heels and end up back in the land of the dinosaurs just yet, the technology to make it possible may be closer than you think – all thanks to STEM!

Failure Is A Groovy Way To Learn

More than likely, learning from your mistakes is one of the ways you learn. Sometimes STEMists go through school afraid to make a mistake, but we’re here to tell you that failure is a groovy way to learn. Failure is how we all get better; it’s how we succeed. Failure also teaches you about resiliency and grit: Resiliency is how you bounce back from adversityGrit is how you persevere through challenges As you learn and fail, you’ll need to bounce back and hang in there when things get tough.

Scientists, inventors, and engineers are constantly battling failure. So, the next time you fail, remember these stories of how failure can turn into success: Elon Musk and SpaceX Elon Reeve Musk is an entrepreneur, engineer, inventor and investor; he is the founder of the company that became PayPal; CEO and chief product architect of Tesla Motors; and CEO of SpaceX, the maker of launch vehicles and spacecraft.

100 Awesome Engineering Projects for Kids. By Kristie Lewis Engineering and fun aren't always two things that kids naturally associate with one another, but there are hundreds of ways to make engineering, physics and design fun and challenging for kids.

100 Awesome Engineering Projects for Kids

Here are 100 great experiments that will let kids construct, play, learn and grow, all while they study the fundamentals of engineering. Basics These projects focus on the basics of motion, force and other essentials of physics. Science Technology Engineering Mathematics, STEM Education, STEM Events, STEM Profiles. National Environmental Education Week. SENSE IT (Student Enabled Network of Sensors for the Environment using Innovative Technology) brings real world environmental sensor networks into the classroom.

National Environmental Education Week

SENSE IT provides students with the opportunity to learn about sensor technology and careers through a hands-on, collaborative process of designing, constructing, programming and testing a student-implemented water monitoring network. SENSE IT modules give students an opportunity to acquire and then use STEM skills while at the same time providing a real world application of science (particularly environmental science), technology (pre-engineering and computing) and mathematics, all tied in a holistic way within the overarching theme of water quality.

Educators are invited to visit the project website for information about upcoming regional teacher professional development workshops and for information about the project and instructions for assembling the water quality sensors. Prepare and Inspire.
