Activity Ideas and Resources

For Parents and Educators
Howtosmile.org
AAUW has an exciting new collaborative agreement with Howtosmile.org — an online collection of thousands of hands-on interactive science and math activities dedicated to making learning fun for everyone. All activities on the howtosmile.org website are freely accessible and never require a registration or subscription. Howtosmile.org is funded by the National Science Foundation as part of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) which brings together a consortium of science museums and other partners across the country to empower educators working with school-aged children in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (STEM). We are delighted to be collaborating with howtosmile.org in an effort to expose more children to educational STEM activities and empower informal educators with an open community where they can discuss their favorite activities and share teaching experiences.
