Get to Know STEM Sports®

Teaching students STEM within the confines of a textbook and whiteboard can tunnel their understanding of the concepts they’re learning. Forces, gravity, engineering, probability, and more may only be seen within the word problems and formulas laid out on a page in front of them.  

STEM Sports breaks learning out of that mold by applying STEM concepts to real life. Our curriculum gets kids moving, thinking, and exploring by applying STEM lessons to more than a dozen popular sports.

Making connections between what they’re learning and the real world is what will set your students up for success.

Forces are taught through bouncing a basketball. 

Gravity is taught through soaring golf balls.

Engineering is taught through sports equipment design.

Probability is taught through penalty kicks in soccer.

Educator Play-By-Play Testimonials

“STEM Basketball fits really closely with our regular science curriculum. It covers movement and energy and connects so well with our kids. The lesson they enjoy the most is module 3, where we discuss how temperature changes the properties of a basketball. We live in Arizona and the heat makes the ball bounce higher. The students find it fascinating!”
