STEM activities and experiences

The 2008/2009 NEA endorsed BKFK Inventive Thinking Toolkit guides kids though the invention process. The Toolkit ’s main goal is to develop and nurture the development of inventive thinking & problem solving skills. It provides educators, museum youth leaders, libraries and out of school programs, as well as families with inspiration and assistance to engage and excite youth.

The //Engineering is Elementary// (EiE) project aims to foster engineering and technological literacy among children. EiE is creating a research-based, standards-driven, and classroom-tested curriculum that integrates engineering and technology concepts and skills with elementary science topics. EiE lessons not only promote K-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning, but also connect with literacy and social studies.
