"Striking a balance between technology integration and engagement can be challenging when teaching traditional science, engineering and math concepts to elementary and middle school students. By using online modules, EverFi brings science, math and engineering concepts to life by teaching critical skills online.

Teachers will preview and register for our STEM Suite of courses:

- Future Goals - Hockey Scholar (Grades 4-8) explores real-life applications of STEM concepts such as area/volume of an ice rink, conservation of energy of a falling puck, and speed/velocity using skates. Students will also learn about behind-the-scenes STEM careers - such as equipment managers and ice technicians - that make a hockey game possible.
- Ignition - Digital Literacy & Responsibility (Grades 5-8) informs students on how technology works while placing them in virtual environments to tackle issues surrounding digital citizenship. Students demonstrate their mastery of digital skills, such as creating a blog, managing a social networking site, and working to resolve a cyber bullying situation.
- Radius - STEM Readiness™ (Grades 8-12) features 16 modules, covering topics ranging from the real world application of algebra to basic computer science and STEM career exploration. Students will learn and apply skills to solve real world challenges, such as repairing a bridge using linear equations, while using basic coding and HTML exercises that build upon one another.

All courses are aligned to NGSS and CCSS. "
