What Does the “S” in STEAM Stand For? 🔬

S = SCIENCE

Science is all about asking questions, exploring how things work, and discovering why.

From chemistry experiments to exploring nature, science encourages kids to stay curious and look for answers.

At IDEA Lab Kids, we turn that curiosity into hands-on discovery. 🧪🌱

Inventor Spotlight: Mary Anderson 🚗
In 1903, Mary Anderson patented a device that allowed drivers to clear rain, snow, and sleet from their windshields without getting out of the car.

Her idea was simple, but incredibly useful. She noticed a problem, thought of a solution, and turned that solution into an invention.
And while windshield wipers may seem ordinary today, her invention became an essential part of every modern car.

💡 STEAM lesson: Innovation doesn’t always begin with a complicated idea. Sometimes, it starts by noticing an everyday problem and asking, “How can I make this better?”

09/13/2026

Every new skill can lead to a new interest.🌟

And every hands-on experience can reveal a talent they never knew they had.🪄

Give your child the opportunity to explore, create, experiment, and discover what they’re capable of.

The possibilities are endless. Start exploring with IDEA Lab Kids. 🚀

Before Minecraft, Mario, and Fortnite, there was… Tennis for Two! 🕹️
Created in 1958 by physicist William Higinbotham, Tennis for Two is widely recognized as one of the earliest video games ever created. It was built on an oscilloscope and displayed a simple tennis match — decades before video games became part of everyday life! 🤯

From those first pixels to today’s immersive worlds, video games have come a long way — combining technology, creativity, design, storytelling, and problem-solving. 💡🎮
If your kids could create their own video game, what would it be? 👾
