STEM HOCKEY
CURRICULUM
"The moment the hockey equipment was seen, they were hooked. All the questions about the game and how the equipment worked increased the conversation and learning instantly. My favorite part of STEM Sports is how the learning sneaks up on the students. They are 'having so much fun' playing hockey, but then are shocked when they are able to articulate the learning, even connecting it to the content in various subjects. As a teacher, I enjoy the ease and fun of STEM Sports. Here’s what a couple of my students shared..."
- "I like that I got to learn about something new and I learned that hockey is harder than it looks."
- "I loved the hands-on experience of actually using the equipment and hitting the puck."
