Newsletter guides for science, math, coding, robotics, and STEM program teachers in K-12
STEM communication has an audience problem: some families are deeply engaged with their child's science and math education, and some have not opened a math textbook since high school. The articles here are written for both. You will find guides for STEM teachers explaining complex concepts in parent-accessible language, communicating about robotics competitions and science fairs without assuming families understand the structure, and building family support for a STEM program in a school where the culture has historically prioritized the arts or athletics. There are also resources for communicating about STEM equity, specifically how to reach the families of students who are underrepresented in advanced STEM pathways.

Common questions
How do I explain a STEM project to parents who are not technical?
Anchor it in what their child is doing, not in the concept being taught. "Your child is building a bridge out of popsicle sticks and testing how much weight it holds" is clear. "Students are exploring load distribution and structural engineering principles" is not. Lead with the activity, then the concept.
What should a STEM newsletter include?
Current unit or project, upcoming deadlines for science fairs and competitions, any supplies or materials families need to provide, and one specific way to engage at home. For STEM programs, the home connection is often the weakest link. Make it concrete.
How do I communicate about a STEM competition to families who are not familiar with it?
Start with the basics: what it is, when and where it takes place, and what students are doing to prepare. Explain the judging criteria so families know what success looks like. Tell them what, if anything, you need from them. Families who understand the competition show up to it.
