Empowering Home-Educated Students With 21st-Century STEM Skills Equip your child with real-world STEM skills for college and career success.

How Our STEM Challenges Empower Students

STEM Training emphasizes practical, hands-on activities, experiments, real-world problems, and projects that allow learners to apply concepts in real-world scenarios.
It integrates multiple subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math) into cohesive learning experiences, helping students see how these fields overlap.
By tackling real or simulated challenges, students learn to brainstorm solutions, test their ideas, and refine their approaches—a crucial process for future innovators.
Ideal for home-based students who work independently, allowing them to learn at their own pace, explore topics thoroughly, and develop personal accountability.
Inquiry-based learning encourages students to ask questions, develop processes, form hypotheses, and analyze data—cultivating curiosity and analytical thinking.
STEM Training Challenges push learners to think outside the box, experiment with new ideas or technologies to find innovative solutions, and develop their creativity.
STEM skills are highly sought after in today’s job market. Early exposure can spark interest in STEM-related careers and better prepare students for college and beyond.
Rapid advances in technology mean that learners must continually adapt. STEM Training fosters a mindset of continuous growth, experimentation, & learning.

STEM Challenge Collections

Our Challenge Collection is designed to ignite curiosity and foster real-world skills by seamlessly integrating all four STEM disciplines—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math—with essential abilities like problem-solving, research, presentation, and critical thinking. Trainees dive into in-depth research, exploring historical contexts, the scientific method, and the engineering design process, all while using their Trainee Portfolio to consolidate findings and craft innovative solutions. Each challenge culminates in a final presentation that showcases their creative approach and comprehensive understanding. With our “open and go” format and self-paced video lessons, students can progress at their own rhythm, using their Trainee Portfolio to document every step of their exciting learning journey.

"The Goal is to provide just enough instruction and guidance to give students basic skills and then let them take charge of their own learning and discovery."

Who We Are

Inspired by our maker family’s home education journey, we crafted a hands-on STEM curriculum that sparks real-world innovation.

As a dedicated home educator for my three sons, I soon discovered that the classical education model just wasn’t the right fit for our family. Embracing the STEM and STEAM approach felt natural for our maker lifestyle, yet despite STEM’s popularity, high-quality, hands-on resources were surprisingly hard to find.

Many home education programs either overlook science and technology or offer only limited coverage, while history and language arts resources are plentiful. STEM Training was born from our family’s journey—a way to share our passion for practical, engaging STEM education and make it accessible for everyone, regardless of how adventurous they may be.
