Did you know there’s no better time to engage kids in fun and educational STEM activities surrounded by my favorite season of the year? Whether you’re a parent looking to create exciting at-home projects or a teacher eager to spark curiosity in your students, fall offers plenty of inspiration for STEM learning.
From designing and building with recycled materials to connecting early math and science skills to hands-on engineering tasks, these activities will not only capture kids’ imaginations but also teach them essential problem-solving skills.
And guess what? I have some amazing bundles filled with everything you need to kick-start your STEM journey this season!
Why STEM in the Fall?
Fall is a season of change and discovery, making it the perfect time for young minds to explore new concepts. The natural world around us provides endless opportunities to turn real-world observations into STEM learning. By engaging kids with fall-themed STEM projects, we can connect the season’s magic to problem-solving and creativity, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Free Fall-Themed Introductory Engineering Activity Bundle
If your child or students haven’t had much exposure to engineering yet, don’t worry! I’ve put together a free bundle of introductory engineering activities that will gently introduce kids to the world of STEM.
This bundle is designed to help kids learn how to solve a problem by creating something. They’ll be given a simple engineering challenge, such as designing a bridge or building a tower, and encouraged to think critically and creatively to find a solution. These are all fall-themed, of course!
Take It Up a Notch: Premium STEM Bundle for Preschool & Kindergarten Learners
Once kids have a basic understanding of solving problems and creating structures, they’re ready to dive into more complex challenges. This more in-depth STEM engineering bundle takes the learning a step further by combining early math and science concepts with STEM engineering design principles.
This bundle is designed for beginner or young learners—perfect for preschool and kindergarten students. By linking math and science concepts with the engineering design process, children get a well-rounded approach to STEM learning that not only builds knowledge but also confidence in their ability to solve problems.
What’s Included in the Premium Bundle:
- Complete lesson plans tailored for young learners, making it easy for parents and teachers to guide activities.
- Printable task cards that outline each activity clearly.
- Age-appropriate content: Math, science, and the Engineering Design Process are tailored for young learners.
Curious how you could use these STEM bundles this Fall? Try to set up an at-home or classroom “Fall STEM Festival” where kids can rotate through different stations, completing each challenge!
