Exposing your student to STEM topics benefits various aspects of their life. Scroll to read how STEM in education promotes success and higher learning in the classroom.

Craft your own winter wonderland with My First Lab’s snow slime experiment! Our slime recipe is so simple that you only need four common ingredients that you can find around your house.

Girls are often fascinated by STEM at a young age but don’t pursue anything due to gender stereotypes and a lack of direction in the field. Help inspire girls to pursue fields in STEM by rewriting the story, introducing goal setting, and encouraging critical and creative thinking!

Do you and your kids need some fun activities for the next time you're stuck inside with nothing else to do? My First Lab has just what you're looking for! Here are some fun activities you can try with your kids the next time school is canceled to make an at-home learning experience fun!

Snow is not only pretty to look at, but also cool! In case you’re wondering how snow is made or what it does when it falls, fear not. We’ve been up since before dawn, collecting snowflakes, analyzing them and coming up with some amazing facts to quench your curiosity. Without further ado, here is our science of snow!  

For general student success in an at-home learning environment, students must be familiar with technology, have access to online resources and be able to get support from institutions. 

A lot of parents ask these questions with the fear that they will be spending money on a tool that they don’t know how to use, or that their kids will not use enough to justify the cost. Here are some reasons why we believe microscopes are worth every penny.

Picking out the perfect microscope can be a difficult decision. My First Lab has various models, each providing a valuable examination of the world around us.

Are you curious as to why you should invest in a microscope this school year? Around 94.5% of students lose interest in science, technology, mathematics, and engineering (STEM) by the 5th grade.

STEM tools are an excellent way to reinforce new skills and concepts. Hands-on experiences, such as project-based learning (PBL), help students engage more with the material they learn, which helps them retain information and improve their test scores. 

Microscopes are an amazing tool that reveals a completely unseen world. However, these devices can be tricky for first time users. At My First Lab, we are here to provide a go-to guide into the world of microscopy- and all the fun discoveries it holds.
