STEM Storyteller
A kit featuring a STEM themed book and an exciting STEM activity. Each month, the kit will be updated with a new STEM activity and book! Children can keep their projects, but the kit and book will be returned.
STEM Storyteller
Each kit includes a:
→
STEM-related picture book
→
Hands-on STEM activity with clear, step-by-step instructions
→
Easy-to-understand explanation of the scientific reasoning behind the STEM activity
→
Fun and engaging quiz to reinforce the STEM concepts and wrap up the activity
→
Feedback form to help us improve future kits

💡 STEM Storyteller's History of Kits
| Date | Theme | STEM Focus | STEM Activity |
|---|---|---|---|
| August, 2025 | No Theme | Energy transfers: Teaches children about kinetic and potential energy | Catapult: craft that launches items (e.g: a pom pom) Materials: Popsicle sticks, rubber bands, plastic spoon, and a small object (e.g: the pom pom) |
| September, 2025 | Music | Sound: Children learn how air creates vibrations, leading to sound. They also learn how space affects pitch. | Harmonica: craft that makes a sound when someone blows into it Materials: Popsicle sticks, rubber bands (one thick and one thin), straws, and scissors |
| October, 2025 | Physics | Newton's Third Law: Teaches children about every reaction has an opposite and equal reaction. | Balloon Rocket: A balloon attached onto a straw and a string. When air from the balloon is released, the balloon launches Materials: Balloons, straw, string, clothespin, and tape |
| November, 2025 | Energy | Energy Transfers: shows the relationship between potential and kinetic energy | Cotton Ball Launcher: launches a cotton ball using a rubber band mechanism Materials: Toilet paper roll, cotton balls, rubber bands, pencil, and tape |
| December, 2025 | Physics | Forces: How air forces interact with objects | Straw Rockets: a rocket cutout is attached onto a pipette, where a straw is placed and then blown into, sending the rocket flying Materials: Straw, pipette, rocket print out, and tape |
| January, 2026 | Physics | Forces: How air forces interact with objects | DIY Parachute: a cutout made from a plastic bag is attached to a minifigure with string and released from a height Materials: Plastic bag, string, ruler, and minifigure |
| February, 2026 | Physics | Forces: Balancing Forces. Engineering design process: learning the different steps involved | Building a Bridge: design and build a strong bridge using any of the given materials Materials: Popsicle sticks, paper, string, straws, toothpicks, glue, and tape |
| April, 2026 | Robotics | Coding: What is coding? | Coding Map: draw a map on paper, and write simple block code to help a robot navigate through it Materials: Paper, robot cutout, coloring materials, and scissors |
| June, 2026 | Physics | Motion: How objects gain or lose acceleration | Zipline: students build their own zipline and design their own basket carrier system, finding a way to attach it to the zipline Materials: string, straw, cup, paper |
| July, 2026 | Vision & Light | Refraction: How light bends when it passes through different materials | Disappearing art: A drawing is placed inside a clear plastic bag. When submerged in water, it appears to disappear due to light refraction Materials: paper, coloring supplies, ziploc bag |
