Overview

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. And that's exactly the sort of instructable we want to see in this contest!

We want to see kid-friendly, easily reproducible projects based in one of the STEM subjects. Bonus points for using low-cost materials that are accessible to folks all over the world. Want to see examples of what we're looking for? Check out our Make at Home collections.

Are you a teacher, librarian or makerspace facilitator? We're also offering a Classroom Educator Judges' Prize! Show us how you use your STEM project in the classroom and you could win a $500 digital gift card.
