| STEM Alive, a partnership of RAFT of Greater Sacramento and KVIE Public Television, leverages the expertise of RAFT educators with the power of public television to create an educator video training series focused on STEM topics. Based on the teacher-tested, learner-centered RAFT Idea Sheets, each video invites educators to explore a new STEM-based hands-on activity guaranteed to spark student interest and motivate further scientific inquiry. |
 |
The STEM Alive project from RAFT and KVIE Public Television has created valuable tools that reinforce a variety of scientific concepts. |
