New Robotics STEM Kit for Nevada Students and Educators

Thanks to support from the Nevada STEM Networks, Nevada Robotics has created a new Robotics STEM Kit called Robot Recipe!

STEM Kits are science and engineering activity kits uniquely designed by Science Alive to support formal and informal educators in teaching easy to set-up, fun and interactive STEM units. All instructional materials and hands-on teaching tools needed to complete three or more activities are contained within a small suitcase for convenient shipping to educators across the state. Current offerings focus on space science, but we are excited to add a robotics themed STEM Kit into the mix!

The Robot Recipe STEM Kit can be tailored to learners of all ages and introduces students to robotics with quick, hands-on activities about simple machines, sensors and coding. Students are provided a robotics-themed science notebook to record their observations, questions and ideas as they move through each activity. We are still putting the finishing touches on this robotics-themed STEM Kit, so keep an eye out for a release date in the near future!

When complete, the Robot Recipe STEM Kit will be available to check out for FREE to formal and informal educators in Nevada through Science Alive’s Green Box program. You can learn more about the Green Box program and how to reserve a STEM Kit on the Science Alive website.

Native Climate Reporter Team Presents, Listens, and Learns at Indigenous Climate Conference in Alaska

Nov 1, 2024

Along Alaska’s western coastline, 400 miles from the nearest road system, villagers from the Indigenous community of Newtok were scheduled for permanent evacuation in mid-October due to the irreversible threat of rising seas. The story, recounted by Newtok resident Della Carl in September at the National Indigenous Climate Conference in Anchorage, Alaska, embedded itself deep in the hearts and minds of each member of the audience, making it clear not just that sea level rise is happening, but why it matters. Such is the power of a well-told story.
