The 2020 STEM Survey showed a unique set of opportunities and challenges as families combine STEM education with remote learning. Our resources can help.
Hands-on with STEM
84% of parents said they would be likely to participate in hands-on activities with their children if given directions, materials and a lesson plan.
STEM Support Growing
86% of parents say they would encourage their child toward a STEM career.
STEM Resources
78% of parents feel equipped to help their child with schoolwork during the pandemic, but most cited that additional resources would help.
STEM Education Importance
93% of Americans view STEM education as important for the future — 24% believe we're behind.
Young People Pursuing STEM
Younger generations are three times more likely to be encouraged to pursue STEM careers than older generations.
Gender Stereotypes
Globally, 52% of people say there is a gender gap because of the stereotype that STEM careers are for men.
STEM Workforce Prep
Globally, 79% of people believe companies should do more to train and prep their STEM workforce.
Female Role Models
Globally, 50% say there is a gender gap in STEM careers — 40% agree this is from a lack of female role models in the industry.
STEM Across Generations
From Gen X to Gen Z, encouragement to pursue STEM careers has jumped almost 25%.

Try the Freeze Off Study!
Foods – or substances made from unique combinations of molecules – have a range of responses to temperature. Discover the different freezing properties of liquids.
Try the Compression Squeeze Study!
Compressors are crucial to a fridge’s ability to help keep food cool and safe. Observe how vapor behaves as built-up pressure releases.
Try the Heat Rising Study!
The Law of Thermodynamics is an important aspect of food safety. By keeping food at lower temperatures, it stays safe and breaks down at a much slower rate.
Try the Cup Phone Sound Wave Study!
Build a telephone with cups and string. Learn how sound can travel through string as long as you stretch it tight.
Try the Blaster Pressure Study!
Create a ping-pong ball Blaster. Use air pressure to launch your ping-pong ball and see how far it goes!
Try the Spool Racer Potential and Kinetic Energy Study!
Build a spool racer. Decorate the spools with supplied racing stickers to customize your racer. Wind up the racer and watch it go! Note that too much winding will cause erratic racer behavior and will take it off course.
Try the Gumdrop Bridge Structural Integrity Study!
Challenge yourself by building a bridge capable of holding a textbook using only candy gumdrops and toothpicks. This activity will require you to think through the engineering aspect of load distribution while also touching on the mathematics of how different shapes affect the strength of a structure.
