Product Description:

The Early Inventors STEM Lab gives Pre-K – 1st grade learners the tools and guidance they need to learn, explore, test ideas, and invent as they build confidence in STEM. Each lab includes a curated set of age-appropriate engineering materials that support meaningful learning experiences. The components are safe, durable, and reusable year after year, making them ideal for repeated use in both classroom and afterschool settings.

Every lab also comes with access to a comprehensive curriculum of more than 60 lessons that foster early STEM fluencies and literacy development.

Lesson Types Supported by the Lab:

STEM Foundations Lessons: 

Build the core knowledge and skills that serve as a base for all future STEM learning. Students develop early fluencies, explore fundamental engineering and math concepts, and begin applying problem-solving strategies in hands-on ways.

Storytime Inventing Lessons: 

Pair children’s books with hands-on builds that strengthen comprehension and vocabulary while encouraging students to test ideas, explore concepts, and invent solutions.

Each Early Inventors Lab serves up to 2 students and provides everything needed to launch hands-on early STEM learning.

The Power of STEM + Literacy

When literacy and STEM are integrated, young learners strengthen academic skills while also building confidence as problem-solvers. The Early Inventors STEM Lab promotes growth in both areas by helping children:

Build vocabulary and comprehension
Strengthen problem-solving and design thinking
Develop spatial awareness and fine motor skills
Practice perseverance and collaboration
Foster early STEM identity and confidence

Did you know: By 3rd grade, one in three children already believe STEM is “not for them.” The Early Inventors STEM Lab helps change that story by fostering confidence early.
