Highlights:

Overview:

DIY STEM includes a set of foundational sessions that help youth become more confident and comfortable with authentic science practices. Staff guide youth through each module, spending three to four sessions exploring and going deeper into one scientific phenomenon. These modules are most effective for youth ages 9-13, grades 4-8.

DIY STEM is organized into inquiry-based modules that each contain 60-minute sessions. Youth will work with one phenomenon – something that is observable but not immediately explainable – for the duration of each module. They will dig deeper into scientific processes with each subsequent session.

Curriculum or Lesson Topics:

• In Modules 1-3, youth will return to the same phenomenon, digging deeper into scientific processes with each session.
• In Module 4, youth will spend up to four or five sessions applying what they learned in the “Wire We Doing This?” module to create a team project.

What's Up With That Cup

Youth begin with this foundational module by creating Group Agreements for all subsequent DIY STEM sessions. Next they will examine under what conditions they can create a bond between a cup and plate so that the plate remains connected to the cup
when filled with water and overturned.

Soaring

Youth explore paper airplane flight and participate in a flight competition.

Reimagined: An introduction to Game Design

Youth work in teams to design their own version of the classic game Operation.

"Wire" We Doing This?

Youth experience an introduction to circuits and explore how to use conductive materials to light an LED.
