The Best Stem Gifts for Girls
Stem subjects are amongst my favourite and one day I hope to be doing amazing things in Tech. I love the Science Museum and really believe that schools and parents should encourage more girls to explore the opportunities within the STEM sphere!
For kids, discovery and play go hand in hand. Your Stem Girl will love how these games help her learn more about her world. Check out my guide on my favourite Stem based gifts.
STEAM Lab for Kids: £9.99
52 Creative Hands-On Projects for Exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. While many aspiring artists don't necessarily identify with STEM subjects, and many young inventors don’t see the need for art, one is essential to the other. Revealing this connection and encouraging kids to explore it fills hungry minds with tools essential to problem solving and creative thinking. Each of the projects in this book is designed to demonstrate that the deeper you look into art, the more engineering and maths you’ll find. "The STEAM Behind the Fun" sections throughout explain the science behind the art.
Galt STEM Science Lab £12.99
