| April 2026 STEM education insights and resources for educators Programs & Materials Highlights Our forward-thinking and groundbreaking research projects often result in insightful and inspiring learning materials, many for free. Free Bilingual Math Resources for Families and Educators Viviendo Matemáticas is a research-based program that connects educators and Spanish-speaking families to support young children’s math learning through collaboration and shared experiences. The program fosters strong relationships, values community knowledge, and broadens how participants think about early math.  Educators and families can also access a set of free, bilingual (Spanish/English) activity guides inspired by the program, featuring simple, hands-on activities—like making bead bracelets—that help children explore concepts such as counting, patterns, and symmetry in fun and culturally meaningful ways. Get the free activities Articles of Interest What we've been reading about in STEM education trends, innovations, and new studies. A Hands-On Approach to Interdisciplinary Learning Edutopia Takeaway: Thoughtfully designed interdisciplinary learning experiences that integrate subjects through inquiry, creativity, and meaningful technology use can transform students into engaged, resilient thinkers who make connections and take ownership of their learning. How TERC Can Help: TERC’s ExIST project helps teachers bring together biology, systems thinking, and game design in ways that are engaging and meaningful for students. Through hands-on professional development, teachers learn how to involve students as active creators, helping them better understand complex ideas while building creativity and problem-solving skills.   STEM Fact! Tardigrades are among the most resilient organisms on Earth, able to survive extreme conditions like radiation, freezing, dehydration, and even short-term exposure to space. News & Opportunities Speaker Series Math Identities Matter: Cultivating Belonging and Community in Elementary Classrooms April 29, 2026 (7:00-8:00 EDT) What’s possible when math centers belonging? This talk explores how classrooms can become connected communities where every child feels valued and capable, drawing on Indigenous perspectives to reimagine math as a deeply human experience. Save Your Seat ➡️ TERC at NSTA: Bringing Real-World Data into the Classroom Join TERC at the NSTA 2026 Conference in Anaheim for two engaging sessions on Saturday, April 18. Making Heat Visible (8:00 AM) explores how students use mobile sensors to investigate urban heat, while Making Sense of Data in Healthcare (1:00 PM) features a hands-on lesson using pulse oximeters to analyze real-world health data and examine bias in medical devices.
