STEM Sports® Offers an Alternative to Video Games for the Summer

New subscription provides learning, physical activity, and fun to kids ages 8-14

Summer is here and that means it is the perfect time for STEM Sports® to kick off their monthly subscription model using their innovative curricula for kids ages 8-14. The excitement of opening a new gift for 12 consecutive months will promote a fun and engaging way to teach kids science, technology, engineering, and math while at home.

The Phoenix-based education company teaches the science behind sports and is loved by educators across the country. Now, parents and families have their own product to explore with the launch of the STEM Sports® All-Star Kit, a great gift for summer, birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions, year-round.

The twelve-month subscription for home use launched June 23, 2022, just in time for the summer. Pictured here: The All-Star Kit for Grades 3-5; an alternate version is available for Grades 6-8.

“I love STEM. This is so cool!” says 10-year old Hudson Tenuto, grinning ear to ear as he opens the contents of his first STEM Sports® All-Star Kit. And his mom couldn’t be happier. “STEM Sports® has come up with something that’s truly unique,” says Sandey Tenuto. ”One of the kits is called FUN-da-MENTALS and that’s a perfect name to describe how we feel, like we’re covering all the bases for Hudson to learn, stay active, and have fun!”

With the 12-month subscription model, STEM Sports® is expanding its mission to teach students STEM principles while encouraging and engaging children in physical activity, now on their own time, and at home with siblings, parents, caregivers, family, and friends.

“Who doesn’t want their kid to be excited when they open a gift? The All-Star Kit provides twelve months of giving, and twelve months of excitement and learning,” says Jeff Golner, the President and CEO of STEM Sports®. “Plus, kids don’t need athletic abilities or special STEM skills to dive in and enjoy their new kit. Baked into each lesson is the discovery of something new – a new sport, scientific fact, or even potential future career paths in STEM, via sports. We can’t wait to share it with parents and families everywhere.”

The subscription offers a new box delivery each month and a hands-on learning experience that’s mostly free from screen time or devices. The kit series is available now at a cost of $24.99 a month for twelve consecutive months. Visit STEM Sports® All-Star Kit for more information.

About STEM Sports®:

STEM Sports® provides standards-aligned, turnkey K-8 curricula that combine STEM disciplines with sports. We deliver authentic hands-on engagement opportunities to students and youth by using sports like basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, golf, and others as the strategic vehicles and real-life applications to drive STEM-based learning in classrooms, after-school programs, camps, and at home. As a result, students develop critical thinking, collaboration, creative problem-solving, and leadership skills that can be applied throughout their education and future careers. Just as importantly, movement and mindfulness are vital components of our student-led curricula. Our double-play combination of physical activity and cognitive thinking provides a comprehensive, inquiry-based educational experience and a solution for crucial STEM literacy for students. Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and National Standards for K-12 Physical Education, our curricula will cultivate and promote participants’ STEM engagement and retention.
