Tips for creating your At Home STEAM learning space

  • Make sure you have easy access to all the materials you might need.
  • Be sure you have enough space for projects of all sizes.
  • You’re going to want to keep your creations safe, make sure you have a place to store them.
  • Make sure you have a place to discard used materials or recycle the things that can be reused.
  • Assign kids their own areas of the space to keep organized and clean.
  • Be sure your space is safe and everyone knows which materials need supervision.
  • Have replacement materials ready to keep the learning going.
  • Consider bringing new items into the space as a challenge from time to time.
  • On average, it takes 45 minutes to an hour to go through each lesson.
  • We suggest you work on one lesson a week.
