Our at-home STEM challenges are a great place to start if you are looking to try some STEM activities with your daughter at home. We will introduce different STEM-based experiments and activities that any family can do at home using common household items. Join your daughter while she explores, creates, and learns about STEM activities while having fun and building confidence.
Pinterest is a great resource but sometimes it can be overwhelming to sift through pin after pin. We’ve done the work for you by narrowing down the choices to simple, fun, and engaging activities. Check out our STEM Like a Girl Pinterest boards for great at-home activities, most of which use things you probably already have in your house.

Set up a challenge for your family or have your daughter invite friends over to host your own STEM Like a Girl party!
Yellow Scope, a Portland based company, wants to hook girls on science before they fall off the curve. Their kits are designed to engage both the scientific and creative minds of girls.
