Open The Conversation

Talking to your children about social justice, racism, discrimination, and inclusion is tough to do but so needed in this day and age.

This kit is perfect for children of all ages to begin educating and opening the conversation to

  • promote your children’s self-esteem

  • learn about the STEM fields and have FUN

  • dismantle racism and elevate humanity without it feeling too heavy

What’s included in your STEM in Black kit?

  • Interactive Picture Book

    With your kit, you’ll get Colorful ME! by Dr. Christelene Horton and Melissa Thomas. This book is full of vibrant illustrations of poetry in motion and family-friendly activities for your children to explore their cultures, ancestries, and traditions.

  • STEM Challenge

    We offer packaging together all the materials you’ll need for your child to complete a fun and engaging STEM challenge with a low-floor and high ceiling to match your child’s learning level. Children who are younger than 1st grade may need some assistance with the materials.

  • Instructional Guide

    We put together a short guide to walk you through the STEM Challenge as well as ways to have an engaging conversation with your child relating to self-esteem and dismantling racism.
