STEAM Hub is the online learning platform from STEM Minds

STEAM Hub › Why STEAM Hub

Why it works

Built to be used, not just watched

What is inside the platform, how it is assessed, and who has independently checked it.

Features

What every course carries

Six things are true of all 75 courses, whichever pathway they sit in.
Hands-on

Project-based learning

Every course is built around students applying skills through hands-on projects. Global Goals Challenges connect the work to real problems.

Gamified

STEMulators™

Each course has a custom-built simulation that puts the concept in students’ hands rather than on a slide.

By teachers

Built for non-STEM teachers

Written by certified teachers and STEM experts, and designed to be run by a teacher with no STEM background.

Standards

Mapped, not approximated

Aligned to CSTA, ISTE, NGSS, Common Core and Canadian provincial standards.

Assessment

Grading & student insights

Autograded quizzes, editable rubrics, exportable gradebooks, ePortfolios and direct instructor feedback at home.

Support

Teacher training included

Additional resources and training for educators, plus teacher and parent communities.

STEMulators™ & Virtual Labs

Every course has a game attached

A STEMulator™ is a gamified simulation built for one specific course. Advanced STEM courses add Virtual Labs for work that would otherwise need equipment a school does not have.
STEAM Hub

Independently assessed

Checked by people who are not us

Accessibility and pedagogy are claims worth verifying, so they have been.

Learner Variability Certified

A product certification from Digital Promise, a US education non-profit. It recognizes products designed for the full range of learner strengths and challenges, based on research on learner variability.

To earn it, STEAM Hub showed how its design supports different kinds of learners, gives students voice and choice, and is updated using feedback from teachers and students.

Education Alliance Finland

Education Alliance Finland reviews learning products using a method developed with university researchers in Finland. Reviewers look at learning goals, teaching approach and ease of use.

STEAM Hub was certified in 2022, scoring 92% for its pedagogical approach and 4.27 out of 5 for learner engagement.

Digital Promise

STEAM Hub holds the Research-Based Design product certification from Digital Promise (2022). It confirms that the course design is grounded in research on how people learn, and that we share that research basis publicly.

EdSurge Product Index

STEAM Hub is listed in the EdSurge Product Index, a directory that schools and districts use to find and compare education technology.

Canvas LMS

Courses are delivered on Canvas, the learning management system from Instructure that many schools and universities already use, so lessons, assignments and progress are in a familiar place.

Accessibility

Everybody belongs in STEM

As a Learner Variability Certified product, STEAM Hub is designed for the range of ways students actually learn — not a single assumed learner.
