Pitsco Education started 40 years ago to serve students who need more than lectures, students who need to take things apart or build things with their hands to understand the concepts. So it’s no surprise that Pitsco has created packs for the specific needs of homeschooling parents teaching STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).

Pairing kits students love with a text to guide the construction and understanding of key concepts, these 16 homeschool packs provide learners with a variety of fun and hands-on activities that have an integrated approach to STEM. The packs include:

  • Straw Structures
  • Medieval Machines
  • Mousetrap Car Building
  • Bridge Engineering
  • Balsa Structures Building
  • Solar Water Heater
  • Beginning Solar Vehicles
  • Advanced Solar Vehicles
  • Wind Energy
  • Kites
  • Rubber Band-Powered Airplanes
  • Water Rocketry
  • T-Bot II Basic Robotics
  • Engineering Idea
  • Engineering with Paper Idea
  • Package Design

Priced starting at $11, the packs typically require basic items found in many homes: glue, tape, scissors, rulers, and so forth. Learn more about these homeschool packs.
