Introducing STEM fields to your kids early on is incredibly valuable and, actually, super fun!

Nurturing their curiosity and getting them interested in science, technology, engineering, and math doesn’t have to be complicated – you have many of the tools you need right in your pantry or backyard.  

In this 15th episode of the Msquared Books Podcast, we had so much fun chatting with Charvi Shah, founder of Mommy Alchemy, about creative ways to use everyday objects to build skills and encourage explorative tendencies. She shares some easy, yet magical, ways to educate our kids and explore the STEM fields through experiments and thoughtful questions. 

Charvi also tells her story of how creativity and innovation came to life for her and how she developed tools to help parents and kids all around the world. She discusses the importance of screen-free activities when it comes to development and shares actionable ways to keep kids interested, stimulated, and engaged with fun and meaningful STEM-inspired activities and conversations. 

Making science, technology, engineering, and math more approachable and vibrant for kids (and parents) is such a valuable topic that we really enjoyed exploring. Don’t let intimidation or lack of expertise in these subjects keep you from introducing them to your kids – keep it simple, keep it fun, and be sure not to miss this fabulous episode!
