Pitsco Education

As we reflect on the 2026 Digital Ship Challenge from this past weekend, we wanted to take a moment to thank all the teachers who have spent months helping and mentoring their students to prepare them for this Challenge!

A huge thank you to Pitsco Education for their generous donation to all the teachers you see here. The Digital Ship Challenge would not be a success without the heart and guidance of these amazing teachers!

When students start asking where their energy comes from, how plants grow, or why the weather changes, call it curiosity, call it science, call it a little tree-hugger moment.

Either way, it’s something worth leaning into, and Earth Day is the perfect time to do it 🌍

If you’re looking for ideas, we put together a blog full of Earth Day STEM activities for kids that are hands-on, engaging, and easy to bring into your classroom.

With activities like building wind energy systems, creating solar-powered vehicles, growing plants, and exploring weather and natural systems, students get to test things out, make changes, and see what actually happens.

If you’re thinking about how to bring more of that curiosity into your classroom this April, we’ve got a few ideas to get you started.
