Olympic Gymnast Simone Biles has a secret weapon in her back pocket: The power of science. Planning on watching the G.O.A.T at the Summer 2024 Olympics in Paris, France this year, try tracking the physics behind her moves. Pick out places where gravity, momentum, and muscle power work together to create routines that defy gravity. (Hint: Google ‘Biomechanics”) For a more detailed breakdown of the Olympian physics, watch this short NBC clip on Simone Biles' incredible athleticism. https://bit.ly/46pgiJH #PhysicsOfGymnastics #Biomechanics #ScienceInSports #Gymnastics #STEMInSports #ScienceExplained #Olympics2024 #Science #STEMforKids #STEAM #SummerOlympics #SimoneBiles

Would you live in a floating city? Global warming has put many coastal communities at risk, but Japan's N-Ark is using STEM to create a solution that goes with the flow—a floating island called Dogen City Dogen City’s mile-wide circular planning is designed to protect the people who live there from tsunamis. It will have two levels: a futuristic supercity on top and an undersea administrative and healthcare center below . Once it's finished, up to 50,000 people will be able to live, work, and play there. There are plans for schools, hospitals, parks, and even space for growing food with seawater! N-Ark is even including rocket launch pads for space tourism!

We're still buzzing from our latest adventure with the Boston Red Sox. ⚾️🚀 On May 2nd, we participated in the Red Sox STEM Education Day for the third year in a row. This year's event was an absolute home run! Imagine this: students at the legendary Fenway Park immersed in interactive activities designed using Scratch, Makey Makey kits, and everyday household items. Based on real baseball training drills, our students tested hand-eye coordination in a home run simulator, speed in a running simulator and balance in a dance/footwork simulator —it was non-stop excitement! 🌟 Giving back is part of our promise, we also distributed STEM Kits and shared 100 tickets to the game with our partner schools and youth programs, to help create unforgettable memories both on and off the field! "We love introducing kids to STEAM in unforgettable places like Fenway Park," shared Loren Paul, our Co-Founder. "It's incredible to collaborate with organizations who share our passion for advancing STEM education." Hats off to the Boston Red Sox for hosting such an inspiring event, and a big thanks to our partners and community supporters who joined us for this incredible day of learning and fun! #STEAMAhead #STEMEducation #FenwayPark #RedSox #STEAMlearning #CommunityPartners #WeSTEAMAhead #InnovateForChange #STEAMImpact #EducationEquality #InclusiveSTEAM

🌟Big News!🌟 Exciting things are happening with our partnership with the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC)! We’ve teamed up with MassCEC to bring even more STEAM-powered opportunities to middle and high school students in the Greater Boston Area. With their support, we’ve brought two very cool projects to life. The first? Developing innovative Clean Energy STEM Kits. These kits are packed with hands-on activities that teach about solar power, sustainable tech, and more. Second, we hosted an inspiring Youth Leadership Symposium where bright young leaders of tomorrow gathered to explore STEAM careers, participated in a clean energy design challenge and discovered local resources. Want to join us as we work with MassCEC to empower and inspire students? Visit our website to learn more about our programs, our partners, and how your child can get involved in our exciting STEAM programming! 💡🔬🚀 #MassCEC #STEAMAhead #CleanEnergyEducation #STEMeducation #FutureLeaders #InnovateForChange #TechLearning #EducationIsPower #STEM #STEAM #STEAMforAll #ClosingTheGap #EquityinEducation #EmpowerYouth

Five years ago, we set out with a mission. STEAM education transformed the lives of our founders, Alix and Loren, so they're paying it forward, giving the next generation a leg up. Today, we’re working on our greatest STEAM adventure: creating a space where young people from vulnerable communities can ignite their imaginations through science and discovery. Our team is moving mountains for our students and their families. We’re closing education gaps and forming partnerships that will help create change in as many communities as possible. Most importantly, we're giving young people the opportunity to choose a path they never knew was possible. Visit our website to learn how we’re leveling the playing field and creating STEAM opportunities for the greater good. https://bit.ly/44I2Yzl Open the door, the future is calling. #STEAMeducation #EducationForAll #CommunityEmpowerment #DiversityInSTEM #STEAMforALL #STEMforALL #STEMEducation #KidsWhoCode #EmpoweringYouth #Innovation
