Greening STEM Hub

Welcome to the Greening STEM Hub! Whether you are an educator, a parent, or simply want to know more about environmental education, you've come to the right place. Here you can find a plethora of tools and resources to help engage learners of all ages with practical lessons in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) that focus on real-world challenges within the natural environment.

At NEEF, we believe our natural environment is a ready-made classroom for teaching STEM. That is why we developed the Greening STEM approach to make environmental issues more relevant and accessible for both educators and learners. Greening STEM promotes partnerships where formal and informal educators can gain experience and confidence by collaborating to design, develop, and co-deliver standards-based STEM learning activities.

The Greening STEM approach is an adaptable framework for creating a series of integrated and holistic learning activities. It is broad enough to accommodate the various educational standards and competencies, yet adaptable enough to operate outside of that framework. Educators and learners who follow the Greening STEM approach are likely to apply it to other real-world scenarios, and often become champions for organizational or systemic change within their communities.
