What’s a STEM Box?
A STEM Box is a Discovery Center experience “to go” to help you and your children learn at home the Discovery Center way. Every experiment is designed by our award-winning Education Department for maximum learning with maximum fun. Each month, you can order a STEM Box that contains multiple, new themed projects, complete with all the materials and instructions for hours of hands-on fun and learning. Whether you do an experiment a week or just one STEM-tacular weekend, we know you’ll have a blast learning together.
