Learning Activities For All Ages!

As an effort to support Oregon families and teachers sheltering in place during this COVID-19 pandemic, OSU Precollege Programs will continue to share links to educational resources. We are compiling a list of free learning resources from various educational sources to support youth K-12 activities at home and continued learning.

SMILE STEM CURRICULUM

Precollege Programs and the SMILE program have maintained a portfolio of research-based  curriculum we have built in partnership with researchers and our K-12 community. Visit the SMILE page to browse our lessons. We recognize that some activities may require materials that may not be available to you at this time.

Oregon MESA Invention Club

MESA is launching Invention Clubs this fall for the school year, a virtual version of our MESA School Program for students who don’t have access to MESA programming through their school this year and are still eager to engage in STEM opportunities. Invention Clubs are for students who have been affected the most by the pandemic; those who are low income and are eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Students can see if they have a current MESA chapter at their school here. If they do not have a chapter and they are interested in MESA, an Invention Club would be the best way to get involved. Check out the flyer and slides below to learn more!
