Top 99 STEM Websites for Kids
The criteria was simple in compiling this educational website list: Free & Fun! All websites were kid
tested, and parent approved. Some websites have been used by STEMOLOGIST for many years, while
others were recent discoveries used for a particular STEM unit studies, such the as the human body, or
multiplication. The list was made for kids aged 2 - 18 years old, or from toddler to high schooler. Due to
the robust number of websites, they were not listed in any particular order. Recommended ages or grade
levels of individual sites were listed when the information was provided; however, the titles or
descriptions should help you determine if the website is age-appropriate for your child/ren. While
STEMOLOGIST promotes Playing to Learn, we respect each parent’s final decision as to what he/she
feels appropriate for his/her own child/ren.

About
1. An internet news blog and online community promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Math).
2. An expert or someone studying how to make STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fun
and practical for all; especially for kids, girls, women and minorities.
The Problem:
What comes to mind when you think of a STEMOLOGIST? In other words, what do you picture when
you think of someone strong in or interested in STEM? Is he a nerdy scientist with an oversized lab coat
and huge glasses instead of goggles? Or, a dude with lots of tattoos and body jewelry assisting someone at
an Apple mega store? Or, a really comfortable All-American pop covered in oil working underneath a
broken car? Don’t feel bad if you pictured a man or white man, because the vast majority of all STEM
jobs in the U.S. today is still dominated by white men. Unfortunately,
●
●
●
80% of all jobs in 2016 is projected to be STEM-related.
America lags far behind in these subjects with worldwide ranking of 25th in Math, and 17th in
Science, and practically non-existent school curriculum for Engineering and Technology.
Kids, especially girls, dislike STEM because they don’t believe it’s for them, it’s too difficult and
hard to understand, and/or STEM is not important to their daily lives.
The Solution:
We need to work together to make STEM a top priority for our country’s health and economy. Together,
we must break the stereotypes and molds of yesterday’s STEM, and get kids of all colors interested in the
future of STEM; and, the earlier, the better!
STEMOLOGIST’s Goal:
To Find STEM At The Root Of Everything! We believe that if kids witness and apply STEM in their daily
lives, they too, can be a proud STEMOLOGIST.
Background:
The truth is, we’re very biased. We’re a family of girls, femgineers, STEMinists, girlpreneurs, chic
chicks, girly-but-not-that-kind-of-girly STEMoholics. With mega influence from our father (a biomedical
engineer), we’ve always been taught that we’re highly-capable people who must never be limited by our
gender, race, religion, creed, etc. We take great pride in being our father’s assistants whether it’s building
www.STEMOLOGIST.com
cars, computers, software programs, or taking care of our home garden with much scientific precision.
We just love getting dirty! A biologist and public health practitioner by trade, our mother always says she
keeps her STEM skills fresh by teaching us its application to everything we do all day long. From
cooking, cleaning, running our online businesses, to Archery and arts and crafts, we’re always searching
for its STEM roots. Can you tell we’re homeschoolers? ;-)
We never saw being girls or a minority as an issue or problem, rather we’ve been taught to seize the
opportunity! We’re actually encouraged when others say “That’s for boys!”, “You can’t do that. You’re a
girl!” or, “You shouldn’t do that, dressed like that!” We absolutely love skirts and dresses, and think girls
should never compromise their personality or style for the sake of “fitting in”. At STEMOLOGIST, we
hope to motivate others, girls AND boys, to think the same way!
