Who is STEM K12?

STEM K12 is a mom & son education company in Tucson, AZ creating high-quality print and online learning products for children, families, mentors, teachers, and partners that improve learning opportunities for everyone. Our magazine and T-shirt graphic designs help us raise funds for S.T.E.M. K-12 education in and out of the classroom learning.

Since 1991, mom saw a need when she saw her teachers at the local Kinkos to make copies of lesson activity books for students she once used that were in color. She herself was given her own lesson activity book to take home and work out of, but shortly upon entering high school those activity books were costing too much money to provide for each individual student leaving printing sheets out to teachers instead. After being forced by her mother to work at the school on summer breaks she learned a lot about why she saw them at Kinkos. Teachers were allowed an x-amount of prints from the school copier and after that had to print out-of-pocket. Now as a mother for a second time in 2011, teachers were paying more out of pocket for the things they decorate their classrooms with to inspire students. Something needed to be done, but what?

In 2016, her own son said he wanted to study the rings of Saturn and mother couldn't be any more proud to hear her son's dream. Finn was not quite in Kindergarten yet. However, the mother felt a bit of a dilemma since she was never encouraged in science class and had very little knowledge of the current education practices. Over time she was introduced to local events at around Tucson and soon came aware of S.T.E.M. education and more events. 

Once introduced to local events she met Deloris and the OSIRIS-REX team at a booth where Finn, of Astro Finn Science, got a hands-on experience of how they were going to collect samples from an asteroid. He has since retained the knowledge every year we see the OSIRIS-REX table at events. Since he has been invited to volunteer at events such as the___ in 2019 being held at Mt Lemon Sky center satellite shops grand opening. Unfortunately, that ended pretty quickly the following year.

During the 2020 COVID19 pandemic and school closures, she saw an opportunity. She started a little shop online with STEM education toys and started building a website. Little did she know about website designing and as she quickly grew in knowledge lacked the funds to improve it. Over time with financial opportunities rising out of the pandemic, she took it further.

Her research back in 2016 led her to the Next Generation Science Standards and many formative websites but known of which gave her what she needed, so she kept building and learning as she went on. She was determined to encompass everything she sought out to do and resolve sinc 1990's. She would have an educational resource site on all things education-related for parents to join and know what their students are being taught and perhaps get the states on the equal education level as many states have not adopted the same standard in Science literacy and possibly promoting disinformation or fallacy propaganda which can cause a difference in opinion to pass appropriate laws that our planet can heal and grow with the limited resources to the populace on the planet.
