STEM Program Curriculum
The Kid Spark STEM program curriculum is designed to move progressively through four overarching learning phases, PK to 8th grade. Click on each Unit of Instruction to learn more about the curriculum contained in the Elementary School STEM Program.
Phase 1
Foundational Fluencies
Educators mentor students to develop foundational capacities prerequisite to all STEM learning, like spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and symbolization. While many students learn these fluencies at home, this phase helps fill in critical gaps that may exist, especially for underserved students.

Phase 2
STEM Fundamentals
Students begin exploring important STEM topics such as applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, and robotics. Students focus on intuitive STEM concepts like how to make things strong and how to make things move. As a result, kids gain confidence in their ability to use technology to design solutions to problems.
