STEM Family Events

Engage your whole school with hands-on academic activities for families to explore together at a STEM or STEAM event on your campus. Save your school time and money with ready-to-go STEM kits aligned to classroom standards and guaranteed to build excitement and awareness of STEM! Each activity has a real-world career connection and covers topics such as biology, chemistry, aerospace, technology, art & design, robotics, mathematics, as well as mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering.

STEM Career Toolkits

STEM Career Toolkits are distributed to all CIS-SA middle school Site Coordinators. Activities include STEM lessons with career awareness components to launch students into STEM pathways. Activities include solving mysteries with a digital microscope, building a hydraulic robotic claw, and learning about careers with STEM Career BINGO! Schools are also provided with posters that include a QR code that links to the TRTF’s Step Into STEM social media account that features local STEM professionals.
