If not already, students are returning to the classroom and schools are reopening. The demand to get education back on track is at an all-time high. STEM Sports® has been supplying our supplemental curricula to meet this demand, and with great success. This past school year was most difficult and now it's time to make meaningful and fun engagements with your students and STEM Sports® is here to help make that happen. And great news for teachers and after-school program personnel: implementation requires zero training or professional development.
Enjoy our latest newsletter, and we wish you nothing more than a successful, new school year.

In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law. This was created in order to combat the negative effects of the coronavirus on schools across the country. The act established the Education Stabilization Fund (ESF) that allocated $30.75 billion to the U.S. Department of Education. This money was then distributed throughout the United States to an array of different school districts. Then, in December 2020, Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA Act) added $81.9 billion to the ESF.
The ESF is composed of three primary emergency relief funds:
- Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund
- Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund
- Higher Education Emergency Relief (HEER) Fund

All supplemental curriculum options give users the unique opportunity to request a quote and sample lesson with one easy click. Other incorporated features include kit information, sports resources, newsletter updates, and blogs.
Also, we've added a TikTok channel. Be sure to check it out @stemsportsusa to keep up to date on our fun and educational videos.

Last newsletter, we introduced you to the wildly popular STEM Baseball and STEM Softball supplemental curricula.
Well, we haven't been, ahem, re-lax-ing, and have actually been breaking our back in creating our next sports curricula.
Perhaps this HINT will help take the lid off our latest.

In July, our STEM Golf supplemental curriculum was teed up for all to see. While it features the game of golf, this television segment is a fair way to view all of our curricula and how it truly reaches the goals and mission of our STEM education methodology. Take a few minutes to watch this great feature, from our friends at Breaking Par TV, which aired on the Bally Sports Network throughout the country. Big thanks to STEM Sports® teacher Haley Mercy and her ace students at Mesquite Junior High School in Gilbert, Arizona.

What are your favorite STEM Sports® curricula?
I’m a big fan of the STEM Sports® Soccer curricula. Soccer is such a universal and accessible sport, that everyone can relate to.
Is there a lesson in particular that you like most in one of our curricula?
In STEM Sports®Soccer, there is a lesson I really enjoy where kids try different techniques for throw-ins and use measurements to compare. What I love about that lesson is the way it ties measurement and conversions to such a hands-on experience.
What STEM Sports® curricula would you like to see next?
I would love to see a tennis curriculum. Maybe a lesson on calculating your racquet’s sweet spot!
What, as a marketing agency, attracted you to STEM Sports®?
Before starting my agency, I spent time as an educator in the classroom and in school leadership. My passion has always been helping kids find joy in learning. When I first learned about STEM Sports®, I was so impressed by how the curriculum makes complex, sometimes challenging, topics so fun and engaging through sports. We knew we wanted to be a part of bringing STEM Sports® to more educators and students.
Thanks, Jennifer! And a special shout out to the Square 32 team of Jennie, Ryan, Haley, and Hope!

We enjoy reading testimonials from teachers, school administrators, after-school personnel, and the like. Here's what some of these heroes had to say recently...
"I hosted two basketball/STEM camps this summer and used most of the kit with a couple of additions! I loved it! The kids loved it. We did STEM in the morning, ate lunch, and then played basketball all afternoon! It was my favorite STEM camp! Addressed the “whole” child…mentally and physically!!”
Joy Schwartz
Beaumont Independent School District - Texas
“It’s great to see how much the students have enjoyed being hands-on and working as a team to build their STEM BMX bikes."
Lorraine Hernandez
Queens Community House, Multi-Site Supervisor - New York
"STEM Sports® has positive and innovative STEM sports equipment to help our youths excel physically and mentally. This company makes sure you understand how everything works and is always interested in how our kiddos liked the products!”
