STEM at Home Activities - North Dakota's Gateway to Science

Looking for a simple way to bring science to life at home? Our STEM at Home videos are short, fun activities that use everyday supplies you probably already have in your kitchen or craft drawer. Each video is led by a STEM educator who explains the “why” behind the activity and then shows you step by step how to try it at home with your kids.

These activities are quick to set up, easy to follow, and a great way to learn and play together.
