STEM can be a crazy subject to navigate. We’ve gathered our favorite resources for teachers, students, and parents. One way we can encourage girls (and brainy guys, too!) is through education. If your girl is interested in building a rocket, coding, and learning more about these subjects, this is a great place for you to start! Most of these resources are FREE, making them even better! We hope you find value in these sources, and email us if you have any resources you like!
