"It's Electric!" is now available as a groovy SINGLE BOX! Groove on over to our website, click SINGLE BOXES to do the "E" in STEM! Here is one of the many investigation activities in "It's Electric!" - made with paper circuits and groovy LED lights. Investigate electricity while constructing a groovy door alarm. Explore switches, the origin & structure of the atom. Acquire various science and engineering practices aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and much, much more. Groovy Lab in a Box is hands-on STEM, project based learning made FUN! #STEMists do the "E" in #STEM! Engineering Design Challenge in every groovy box! Engineering Design Challenge: You are a groovy electrical engineer who has been contracted by the latest groovy dance group. Using only the materials from your Groovy Lab in a Box, can you design and build a groovy dance pad with specific criteria and constraints? #NationOfMakers #STEMforKids #STEMEducation #STEMEd #ProjectBasedLearning #PBLChat #PBL #STEMtastic #unschooling #ElemEd #EdChat #homeschoolscience #instascience #STEMChallenge #NGSS #MakerEd #EngineeringDesignProcess #STEMist #GroovyLabInABox #GroovyLab #STEMChat #Maker #FutureEngineer #Parenting #MakerSpace #FutureScientist

Academics in a Box Inc. was founded to inspire in students a desire to learn more about the sciences and humanities. Our products aim to allow students a new way to experience the beauty, poetry, and wonder of our universe through hands-on experience. Our foundation is based on the ideas that by “doing” and “experiencing,” students are more motivated to become inquisitive about the world around them. It’s this curiosity and creative thinking that are at the heart of developing a love of learning. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is used as a guide to ensure that our products supplement the learning that takes place in the classroom. We aim to take students beyond simple memorization of facts and figures by helping them gain a better understanding of significant science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) practice and application, as well as gain a deeper appreciation of the materials they are presented with.
