Not everyone has access to robust STEM learning experiences. Inequities in our educational systems and opportunity barriers outside of school are holding back our youth.
Let’s face it, in our schools kids are often disengaged. Traditional science resources are jam-packed with information that makes them unapproachable for many learners. Overwhelmed teachers with tight instructional schedules often struggle find time for hands-on learning.
Outside of school kids often do not get enough experiences that challenge their thinking and nurture their creativity. We often see fixed mind-sets, resistance to new ideas, and a fear of failure.
For over three decades, the Einstein Project has provided leadership in transformational change in STEM education in Wisconsin. Our support for teachers and schools starts with high-quality, hands-on instructional materials. It continues with transformational professional learning to help teachers foster curiosity and wonder in their classrooms.
Our makerspace provides engaging learning opportunities for all ages. At the STEM Innovation Center or in our mobile makerspaces, our workshops, summer camps, and field trips inspire creativity and help to develop critical durable skills in a fun and challenging setting.
