Keeping your kids occupied and happy is a standard parenting goal. But keeping your kids occupied and happy when they are out of school for the foreseeable future has moved well beyond the tricks and tips we normally use. So, what’s a busy parent to do?
As a parent and someone who has worked in STEM education for a long time, I have a few ideas. My organization, DiscoverE, is a nonprofit focused on the E (for engineering) in STEM, and we have tons of free projects for kids ages 3-18. Better yet, most of the materials required are already in your house.
