My STEM Adventure is a brand new app now available on App Store and Google Play that provides the opportunity for young children and their families or other caregivers to explore the world of STEM both indoors and outdoors and create a storybook that details their investigation.
In this video demonstration, you will find how STEM can be integrated into children's daily routines. Mom in the video works together with the child to develop and follow through with a sequence of steps to complete a task, creating algorithms.
