Get to Know STEM Sports®

Teaching students STEM within the confines of a textbook and whiteboard can tunnel their understanding of the concepts they’re learning. Forces, gravity, engineering, probability, and more may only be seen within the word problems and formulas laid out on a page in front of them.  

STEM Sports breaks learning out of that mold by applying STEM concepts to real life. Our curriculum gets kids moving, thinking, and exploring by applying STEM lessons to more than a dozen popular sports.

Making connections between what they’re learning and the real world is what will set your students up for success.

Forces are taught through bouncing a basketball. 

Gravity is taught through soaring golf balls.

Engineering is taught through sports equipment design.

Probability is taught through penalty kicks in soccer. 

What’s in Our Lineup

Get kids moving with 16+ hours of instruction in every curriculum, including physical activities and hands-on lessons.

Kick off learning right away with our kits that include all the sports equipment and science materials you need to begin teaching.

Differentiate instruction by selecting printed or digital curricula that fits your students’ grade level and/or needs. Our curriculum covers K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and Special Education.

Gain adoption quickly with lessons that are instructor friendly and require zero training. Teachers, coaches, club leaders, camp directors, and more can all teach STEM Sports, even with no STEM or sports background.

Turn STEM concepts into real-life career motivation by sharing the sports-related STEM jobs infused into every lesson.

Be confident you are meeting benchmark standards with lessons aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and/or Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and/or National Standards for K-12 Physical Education.

Educator Play-By-Play Testimonials

“STEM Basketball fits really closely with our regular science curriculum. It covers movement and energy and connects so well with our kids. The lesson they enjoy the most is module 3, where we discuss how temperature changes the properties of a basketball. We live in Arizona and the heat makes the ball bounce higher. The students find it fascinating!”

Andrew Raupp​Founder and executive director of STEM.org​
The first time my class of 18 middle school boys and 2 girls were actually excited about doing math and science! As fun as I think I make my lessons, the nature of STEM Sports lessons designed this perfectly.
Lindsey Buck​Teacher at San Pasqual Union School District​
Our eighth-grade Chief Science Officer jumped at the opportunity to bring the curriculum to the students at Villa De Paz Elementary School. We honed in on fourth-grade students and had an overwhelming response. The curriculum is so much fun! The fourth-grade students absolutely love it. They are practicing STEM without even knowing it!
Kelly Petross​Teacher
The STEM Sports programs make a great connection for the kids. You can tell students about addition or subtraction but once you start giving them something they can attach to, that they care about, like sports, then they really get into it.
Matthew Poland​Teacher
I observed a STEM Baseball lesson and it was exceptional! The students were engaged at the highest level because they had to physically participate and interact with their environment. STEM Sports is exactly the type of program I want all of our students to experience!
Shane McCord​Superintendent, Gilbert (AZ) Public Schools​
We all truly enjoyed STEM Sports. The teachers and students had a BLAST and learned a lot. It was definitely a pleasure working with you and a great learning experience.
