A Year of Simple STEM

Start Here

Changing the world through education.

Education lowers barriers, empowers people, and evolves the world. We help you bring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to your students in easy, engaging, and enjoyable ways. Using mini-courses, workshops, evaluation, consulting, and partnerships, we do the translational work of helping people understand the processes involved in teaching and learning STEM.

"Yen's presentation got me excited about teaching science, gave me practical hands-on activities that I can use immediately, and provided me with resources for the future. This seminar was extremely valuable! "

"I found the presentation by Yen Verhoeven extremely informative and useful. It really made me think about how I teach science to my students and the changes I can make to help them become critical thinkers." - Sheila Scheele, 3rd and 4th grade teacher

"I called Yen to ask her to look over a presentation I was asked to give regarding the progress of a course. What I got was much more than a complete revamp of my presentation, it was a complete revamp of my outlook. Using theoretical frameworks, she gave the presentation life and heart. She rekindled my enthusiasm as an educator to be able to advocate for myself and my students. Thank you!"
