About the STEM Basketball Curriculum

Designed to pair strategic STEM-based activities with basic game-play and current hot topics, STEM Basketball gives students the opportunity to get behind the sport they love with lessons centered around the innovation and technology behind basketball shoes, calculating calories with general game-play, velocity, and acceleration with passing, and much more. STEM Basketball is an educational enrichment program made up of eight (8) modules and worksheets that align with Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core State Standards. Each STEM Basketball kit includes a teacher’s manual – that administered easily – and reusable sporting and science equipment for the program to be fully implemented. Although composed for grades 3-8, the program is constructed with flexibility in mind as it can be scaled and taught to older student groups and in a variety of settings, e.g. in-school, after-school programs and in camp settings.
