Extreme Science

This is an amazing website. I usually focus on engineering and project-centric STEM sites, but this site can certainly hold its own.

My nephews are very interested in animals, and I thought of them when I came across this site. I can't wait to share it with them soon.

There are so many interesting tidbits of information when you delve deeper into each tab that you might get lost in it happily.

As you can see, below, the information on this site is eclectic. 

So, why don't you dig in and enjoy a meandering journey of discovery on this site.

MIT's Scratch

My daughter and I were introduced to MIT's Scratch through Help Your Kids with Computer Coding by DK Books. These DK Books were sold at Costco a while back, and I thought it'd be a good way to get our feet wet.

As you can see, it's very kid friendly. 

There are loads of information on Scratch and how to use it 

- for educators and for parents.

Here are some starter projects on the website, but the book also does a great job getting things started.

I'm an engineer who likes working with physical, moving parts, and coding has never been my strong suit. But I think it's important to expose our kids to all kinds of STEM and arts.

I'm not sure if this book is still available at Costco, but if you come across it, buy it. It's a great deal for ~$12 (I think that's what I paid several years ago).

Ask Dr. Universe

I was searching for interesting online STEM sites when I came across this one. And what a wonderful and fun website this is!

And guess who Dr. Universe is? An inquisitive cat who has a lot of friends who knows a lot about great many things. So, please check out the website.

The link for the website is below. Try it, and it'll give you all kinds of information in a very kid friendly format. I really wish I had known about this site when my kids were younger.

Ask Dr. Universe

It answers so many questions your younger children will ask, and it also has a lot of fun videos to watch.

Also, by any chance, if it doesn't have an answer for your question, you can submit a question.

I've learned more about earwax, boogers and bones in less than 10 minutes than I thought possible. So, go dig around and have fun!
