National PTA’s STEM + Families initiative provides fun, hands-on experiences that allow elementary and middle school students to learn alongside their parents and caregivers. Our programs reinforce the value of family support for education while introducing new ideas, important skills and career possibilities related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
This year, we would like to incorporate this initiative into our STEAM Fair. Students will be given the opportunity to both explore topics of their own choosing, or any of the topics below.
If your family is interested in hosting one of the following stations, please sign up here:
A separate form will be sent home to those choosing to do their own experiments, research, and art around STEM topics.
