Mass STEM Week 2020

The theme for the third annual statewide STEM Week is “See Yourself in STEM,” with a particular focus on the power of mentoring. Women, people of color, first-generation students, low-income individuals, English language learners, and people with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM industries and make up an increasing portion of the overall workforce, but the demographics of STEM fields have remained largely the same. We need more young people to see themselves in STEM.

Museum of Science Engineering Design Challenges

The Museum of Science is thrilled to support Mass STEM Week 2021. Together we will create a generation of problem solvers and inspire a lifelong love of science in everyone.

The Museum has developed three engineering design challenges for educators and students across the Commonwealth in grades PK-2, 3-5, and 6-8. Each of the challenges are age-appropriate and allow for flexibility and adjustments.

The design challenges will run in the new Engineering Design Workshop exhibit during Mass STEM Week on:

Tuesday 10/19, 10 am - 12 pm for grades 3-5

Wednesday 10/20 10 am - 12 pm for grades PK-2

Thursday 10/21 10 am - 12 pm for grades 6-8

Educators who are interested in running the design challenge in their classrooms during Mass STEM week can go to learn.eie.org to create a free account and learn more.

More information about Mass STEM week is coming soon to mos.org
