As we look to the future, almost anyone can see that STEM skills will be key to tackling challenges big and small around the world. Innovations in science, engineering and technology can bring us solutions that enhance our homes, improve our health and benefit our communities in countless ways. However, to truly unleash students’ learning potential in STEM, it takes more than simply memorizing the periodic table and learning how to code. It also takes creativity, curiosity, teamwork and fun!

As the next step in Kahoot!’s mission to make learning awesome, we’re teaming up with the global robotics community FIRST® to offer a brand-new collection of kahoots for young STEM learners everywhere. Available to play now for free on Kahoot!
