In this episode, I review the Sphero Indi, a versatile and kid-friendly robotics kit that makes early coding completely accessible—even without screens. I share why I love its simplicity, durability, and creativity-boosting features, and explain why I think it’s absolutely worth the investment for classrooms and families alike.

In this episode, I share four fun and educational STEM activities families can do at home using vinegar to explore science through fizzing volcanoes, color art, rockets, and a bouncy egg experiment. I explain the chemistry behind each reaction and offer guiding questions parents can ask to deepen kids’ learning. By the end, I show how simple materials can spark curiosity, creativity, and hands-on discovery right in the kitchen.

In this episode of The STEM Spark, I explore how virtual reality can transform the classroom by immersing students in interactive learning experiences. I break down how VR connects to each part of STEAM, share what tools and apps teachers need to get started, and highlight the skills students develop through hands-on exploration. I wrap up with some encouragement to fellow educators to start small, experiment with simple VR activities, and watch curiosity and creativity come alive through immersive learning.
