STEMfinity




Stemfinity.com is an online resource portal for STEM educators. Its platform was created to help teachers find STEM inspired classroom resources for all grade levels. The website has links for science, technology, engineering, math, robotics, makerspace, and so much more. This website is very user friendly, and is offered in numerous languages. Each tab takes you to a portal that leads to numerous different websites for STEM materials. Although, for the most part, the website is free, some of the links take you to websites that allow you to purchase materials. Also, when clicking on the makerspace tab, you can find materials such as a complete robotics kit, drone cameras, and so much more to make your classroom makerspace complete. The website itself has Stem bundles for under $100, which is fairly inexpensive for what most bundles cost. The beyond part of the website is a great place for educators to check out. It offers STEM newsletters, STEM professional development options, possible STEM grants for teachers to sign up for, and even summer camps that are STEM inspired. It has resources that help teachers integrate STEM lessons into their everyday classroom lessons, simulations on how the lessons should look when being conducted inside the classroom, and links to get the free or fairly cheap resources that they need. I think this website is great because it acts as a platform for educators to find and explore the STEM world and become more knowledgeable about products and activities they can use in their classrooms.
