Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Roller Skating

LEARNING THROUGH ROLLER SKATING!

Conquering Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)

Great skate, which has been providing fun, safe and exciting experiences for children and families for years, has added a new dimension to their game: EDUCATION! United Skates of American has combined STEM with roller skating to help children learn and experience concepts first hand and now Great Skate can bring that program to our community.

The STEM lesson programs are designed by experts across the country including PHD candidates and certified teachers and uses enthusiastic and qualified educators to show that SEM is not only found in everyday experiences, but it can be FUN! The program includes hands on activities that relate roller skating to STEM, capture the student's attention and help explain difficult-to-teach concepts.

Since embarking on this STEM journey, United Skates has used their passion about the initiative to raise awareness on the growing need for STEM in the education of our youth. Jennifer Simonetti, Event Coordinator at United Skates, states, "Our program gets children excited about STEM and motivates them to become involved in STEM topics in the future. Roller skating is such a natural fit when it comes to explaining STEM concepts and the students are always completely amazed by the connection."

Great Skate is offering these STEM Field Trips to Elementary and Middle schools across St. Charles County and the St. Louis Metro area. Watch a video of our unique program below.
