Abstract

“I wanted to thank the individuals or individual who came up with the idea for the STEM kits . . . I am a nanny of three boys aged eight to thirteen years old, and all three enjoy working with the problem-solving skills, engineering, science, and other learning opportunities that the kits offer. Thanks so much for making education exciting and fun!”
