CreositySpace Curriculum
Connecting STEM Entrepreneurs and Their Innovations to the World Around
Nothing can replace the power of learning through storytelling. Research continually shows us that sharing personal experiences and introducing relevant role models are key to seeding early interest in STEM.
What better way to make STEM real for kids, at a time when they ask “What do I want to do when I grow up,” than introducing them to those uniquely positioned to inspire them—entrepreneurs and innovators! It is with this philosophy in mind that CreositySpace developed its Digital Entrepreneur Program. |

Digital Presentations to Teach Real-Life STEM:
The CreositySpace program keeps STEM current, real and relatable for young minds. Not only does it give students the chance to learn about the variety of ways STEM is present in their lives and to do some fun hands-on activities, it also gives them the opportunity to hear from a whole new set of role models. CreositySpace entrepreneurs and innovators demonstrate that STEM is used by people from all backgrounds and interests.
CreositySpace integrates STEM concepts
into core courses We designed each digital module to give elementary teachers the tools and flexibility to integrate STEM into any class—including ELA, math and social studies—into a unit, or across multiple weeks.
