DIY Phone Projector
Wondering what to do with your overflowing recycling bin? This oh-so-cool DIY smart phone projector will inspire little engineers to turn recyclables into inventions. There’s no stopping the possibilities in a simple cardboard box!
Coding Applications
When your kid starts talking about loops, go-to commands, and branches, it probably means she’s learning to code, and that’s a very good thing. In a technology-fueled world, coding is quickly becoming a prized, 21st-century skill. Plus, it encourages kids to become creators, not just consumers, of the technology they use.

Technology Humor
Coding Bracelet
STEM activities are a part of our world today and won’t be going away anytime soon. But when it comes to STEM, the “T” in STEM, technology, can be hard to teach!
Use these technology activities for kids to help explore the technical side of STEM and prepare children to live and work in a society steeped in technology and change.
Kids will love these coding activities and technology STEM activities!
