A Peace of Nature kits aim to foster a passion for STEM learning and sustainability in youth through hands-on activities. Each kit will include:
A book directly related to an activity that features a typically excluded/underrepresented audience (e.g., girls in STEM, BIPOC)
All the resources required for the feature activity
Video tutorials with detailed, step-by-step instructions.
By addressing gaps in hands-on STEM learning; connecting young people to nature; and empowering youth and their families to incorporate sustainability and environmentalism in their own lives and in their communities, we are creating innovative opportunities to create more resilient communities.
Hang tight: We are working on new options for our kits and will update the site with instructions to request a kit ASAP!
