Discover Middle School STEM Resources by Subject Area
Robotics, AI & Flight
Technology programs that connect physical hardware with modern digital literacy.
- Ready, Set, Drone! (Grades 4-8): An accessible entry-level drone program featuring 12 one-hour lessons that teach mini-drone flight, aerodynamics, physics and real-world UAS applications for up to 30 students.
- Drone Designers Grades (4-8): STEAM program where students apply the engineering design process and coding principles to costume, choreograph and code micro-drones for creative aerial performances.
- AI Innovators (Grades 6-8): Introduces middle schoolers to foundational artificial intelligence concepts, computer science principles and interactive, real-world technology applications.
Engineering Design & Physics
Tactile building systems that bring physical science and mechanical concepts to life.
- Discover Engineering (Grades 4): A 100% reusable engineering program where learners explore gear trains, power ratios and complex machines while constructing trebuchets, cart launchers and transmission models for small groups of up to six learners per kit.
Digital Media & Communications
Creative media production courses that develop technical skills and expressive storytelling.
- Claymation (Grades 4-8): Teaches the fundamentals of stop-motion film production, clay modeling, storyboarding and set design using included HUE HD cameras and studio equipment.
- Discover Podcasting (Grades 6-12): Guides middle schoolers through the complete audio-production pipeline — from scripting and interviewing to sound design and editing — supported by a one-year Soundtrap for Education license.
Flexible Implementation & Purchasing Options
Our offerings are designed to fit real-world learning spaces. Whether you need a complete kit to launch a new program or standalone replacement supplies to refresh an existing inventory, our resources offer flexible options for different group sizes.
- Pre-Purchase Resources: Need to evaluate resources prior to ordering? Head to our Catalog or download a free curriculum sample. You can also schedule a free consultation or review our grant and funding opportunities to share with internal decision-makers.
- Complete Kits vs. Refill Kits: Many PCS Edventures STEM and STEAM kits feature durable, reusable hardware paired with step-by-step educator guides. Some kits also include consumables, and when those run low, refill kits are available to keep programs running smoothly without re-purchasing core equipment.
