Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math aren\u2019t initially concepts that one would introduce in the same vein as learning the alphabet. But that\u2019s the beautiful thing about learning: there is no failure, only success, and experience gained. Additionally, with the advent of mobile devices, lessons don\u2019t have to be taught solely in the classroom. Students are free to grow wherever they\u2019d like to. With that in mind, here are three education-based apps suited for K-2 students that require only a smartphone and an eager brain! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. PBS Kids Games<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Public Broadcasting Station is always a phenomenal educational resource for students of all ages and types, so they&#8217;re never the wrong choice regarding mobile learning for younger audiences. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pbskids.org\/apps\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PBS Kids Games<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> creates many games covering various topics: Alaskan Native culture, nature, space\u2026they\u2019ve got it all! There\u2019s even an app specifically for STEM-based learning:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pbskids.org\/apps\/the-cat-in-the-hat-invents.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cat In The Hat Invents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When it comes to quantity alone, no other option bests PBS.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. ScratchJr<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s more fun? Getting a fully built Lego set or assembling the construction yourself? The answer is often, of course, the latter. In that same respect, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scratchjr.org\/about\/info\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ScratchJr<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> doesn\u2019t provide a story or game to follow. It lays out the tools in the form of \u201cgraphical programming blocks\u201d (in other words, characters, objects, and places controlled by computer language in the visual style of puzzle pieces) so that students can tell their own narratives instead! \u201cImagination\u201d isn\u2019t the first thing that comes to mind when considering the STEM field. Still, ScratchJr blows that stereotype out of the water by merging creativity and formulaic learning to round out the ideal schooling service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Duck Duck Moose<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.duckduckmoose.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duck Duck Moose<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, similar to PBS Kids Games, is a collection of games rather than one app in particular. While it doesn\u2019t have the immense variety of topics that PBS hosts, the advantage of Duck Duck Moose is that it has a tighter target audience, ages 2-10. Whereas other app companies may employ a wide net, this one caters to the focus group by covering grounded topics such as math, reading, and storytelling. If all else fails, it falls to the classic point of interest for kids: trucks and princesses (not in one app, unfortunately). It&#8217;s simple and sweet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a world where the smartphone stays with us any day for longer than our wallet, shoes, or even the clothes we wear, it often remains surprisingly unutilized in many cases when it comes to helping children increase their awareness of the vast biome they reside in! The phrase \u201ckids and their dang phones\u201d gets thrown around semi-frequently, and there is undeniable merit in seeing the world through one\u2019s eyes. But if this technology is going to saturate the world as we know it (which it has already accomplished), the best option is to wield these computers to the advantage of the rising generation. There\u2019s an empire of knowledge at their fingertips, and these three apps are merely the stepping stones for a wealth of success and experience gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By Noah Moster<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want more resources on the topic of <\/span><\/i><b><i>educational STEM apps<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?
