Hmm, no lessons match that.
Try removing a filter, or ask Scout. He knows the whole library.
“Our experience with Dakota STEAM has been wonderful. As a former teacher and now a mom, I’ve been able to see firsthand how much kids engage when they’re given the space to create, problem-solve, and take on challenges. It helps build that “I’ve got this” or “we can figure it out” attitude. We’re lucky to have Dakota STEAM right here in Rapid City. It’s a place where learning is hands-on and fun, but also where kids are encouraged to try something, fail, make changes, and try again. I love that they’re building confidence, creativity, and problem-solving skills without kids even realizing how much they’re learning along the way.”
Frequently asked questions
What format are your digital lessons in?
All lessons are delivered as digital downloads right after purchase. No shipping, no waiting. Lessons include a teacher or facilitator guide, a materials list, and the student challenge brief. Print or display digitally. Your choice.
What’s the difference between a full digital lesson and a mini lesson?
Full digital lessons are complete STEAM challenges designed for a full class session (45–90 minutes). Mini lessons are shorter versions of the same challenge, typically 20–30 minutes, built for independent work. Ideal for families, after-school, events, or teachers trying the format for the first time.
Do the lessons align with Next Generation Science Standards?
Yes. Each lesson guide includes a standards alignment section identifying the applicable standards for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.
Can I use these lessons at home or for homeschool?
Absolutely. The materials lists use common household and classroom supplies, so nothing specialized or expensive is required. Many homeschool families start with our mini lessons.
Can my whole school or district get access?
Yes. If you’re a principal, curriculum director, or district coordinator, contact us about school-wide licensing so every teacher gets access without individual purchases.
How do memberships work?
