Creation Crate - Curriculum

CC Curriculum

Creation Crate Curriculum

Creation Crate’s curriculums all teach STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills for 21st century careers. Each curriculum is authenticated by STEM.org. This means that everything you are learning has been reviewed and graded to make sure it meets the highest of standards in STEM education.

Electronics 2.0

Creation Crate’s Upgraded Electronics curricuum is made up of 12 Uno R3 (Arduino Compatible) projects that , just like the standard curriculum, teaches circuitry, programming, and high-level problem solving. Projects are a multi-stage progression and offer display-ready projects using the Creation Crate box. (Ages 12-Adult)
