For Parents
Free hands-on STEM projects for families — no kit, no lab, no special equipment. Just curiosity, a kitchen table, and a little time.
No special equipment
Most projects use things you already have at home — paper, tape, jars, kitchen staples. Filter by "Household items" to find them instantly.
Weekend-friendly
Every project shows a real time estimate up front. Dozens finish in under an hour. No commitment required — start, stop, pick it back up later.
Any age, any level
Projects are labeled by age range and difficulty — not school grade. Whether your kid is 5 or 15, there's something that fits right now.
Curated Packs
A curated pack is a handful of projects that go well together — great for a rainy afternoon, a spring break week, or just when you want a plan.
