Fun Summer Project with Groovy Lab in a Box!

It's Electric!

It's Electric! is now available as a groovy SINGLE BOX!

Groove on over to the Groovy Lab in a Box website to do the "E" in STEM! Groovy Lab in a Box is hands-on STEM, project based learning made FUN where STEMists do the "E" in STEM?! Engineering Design Challenge in every groovy box!

Investigate static electricity, origin and structure of the atom, paper circuits, switches, a groovy door alarm to keep any trespassers out of your room and much, much more!
It's Electric! - Dance Pad
The 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?

Explore various science and engineering practices aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. .
It's Electric!
Don't forget: Every Groovy Lab in a Box comes with a groovy, retro-themed Lab Notebook where STEMists will take notes, draw pictures, redesign their engineering projects and apply their critical thinking skills. Plus, all groovy STEMists get access to the Beyond...in a Box web portal for additional groovy learning and STEM fun!
  • Emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)
  • Extended learning through an exclusive online portal
  • For groovy kids ages 8 and up

Groovy Lab in a Box -"Pull Your Weight"

Groovy Lab in a Box -"Pull Your Weight"

This month's box, which is all about pulleys, cranes and Newton's Third Law, is now available as a groovy SINGLE box!
Pull Your Weight Single Box
The Engineering Design Challenge: At the Mars colony, astronauts will need machines to build structures and move materials. One of those machines will be a crane. You’ve been tasked to design and build a crane to lift a heavy load.

This box looks fantastic!!  I can't wait for my son to be old enough to do these type of projects!

"Pull Your Weight" - and it's all about pulleys, cranes and Newton's Third Law. Your STEMists will love channeling their inner Isaac Newton with this box!
Pull Your Weight Single Box
Monthly boxes from Groovy Lab in a Box sell out very quickly, so be sure to order "Pull Your Weight" today so you don't miss a groovy thing.

Do You Have a Groovy Kid?

stemist-for-web
Everyone always says that learning should be fun.  But, very few people are innovative enough to make it as fun as it should be.  The educators at Groovy Lab in a box realized that the very answer to this dilemma lies with the very children we teach.  Children want to learn even if they don’t realize it.  They are natural STEMists and have an innate ability to create.  Yet, due to time constraints and an over stressed educational system, harnessing that innate ability in children becomes lost in the shuffle of simply trying to meet basic requirements.

By utilizing the Engineering Design Process, students are held to a variety of standards for their finished product. Most importantly, they are provided the opportunity to engage their imaginations and apply critical thinking to supply their own desired outcome.

Every month, STEMists receive a Lab Notebook in their Groovy Lab in a Box. Many lab notebooks are just a set of directions, but not this one!  Their Lab Notebooks are truly groovy!

Sure, their Lab Notebook has directions.  STEMists will follow the Lab Notebook’s step-by-step directions for the investigations.  However, for that month’s Engineering Design Challenge, the Lab Notebook does not have any directions.  Not a one! Instead, children have to apply what they learned from that month’s investigations and use this knowledge to create their engineering design challenge project.
What's in the Lab Notebook?

That’s the groovy part about the Lab Notebooks from Groovy Lab in a Box.  Just like an artist pours everything into her sketchbook, the Lab Notebook is where children will pour everything they are learning from that month’s STEM-related activities and engineering design challenge.  The Lab Notebook is the place where STEMists will take notes, draw pictures, redesign their engineering projects and apply their critical thinking skills.  It contains every aspect of their learning experience – something they can refer to again and again for enrichment and fun.


Lab notebooks are meant to be groovy, and Groovy Lab in a Box wouldn't have theirs be any other way!
