Help Your Kids Learn & Love STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)
Helping your kids learn and love STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math) often feels like a chore. And for some, it can seem overwhelming, especially if you didn’t do so well in those subjects when you were younger.
But today, the educational landscape has changed. STEM is taught in a much more hands-on, interactive way. As a parent, taking advantage of opportunities to help your child learn and love these subjects can be as simple as visiting a local children’s museum, taking your kids rock climbing, or talking about gravity when a spill occurs instead of hurrying to wipe it up.

Looking for STEM activities and resources you can use at home or in the classroom? Check out free materials from the Lockheed Martin Engineers in the Classroom initiative, available through a partnership with national literacy non-profit First Book. If you work with children from low-income families or in Title 1 programs, your program might be eligible to purchase high-quality books at deep discounts through the First Book Marketplace, an online bookstore for schools and programs that serve children in need.
