S.T.E.M & Snap Circuits

STEM activities benefit children by fostering crucial life skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. These hands-on, inquiry-based experiences boost cognitive development, improve academic performance, and cultivate a lifelong love of learning by making abstract concepts tangible and relevant to the real world. 

Snap Circuits are educational toys that allow children to safely and easily build and experiment with electronic circuits. Instead of requiring soldering or complex wiring, the components have snaps that connect together on a plastic grid. This engaging, hands-on approach provides numerous learning benefits for children in a wide range of age groups.
